  You're the second guy to say this. Stop and think... Ready for it? Because it was only months away from carrying tourists. You'll scare the tourists if you're afraid to use a human pilot.

    I bet the tourists are pretty scared now.

      Said tourist checking in. Still keeping my ticket I purchased over 4 years ago. Space is hard and I'll go when they're ready.

        Sorry for the irrelevant comment, but I'm so jealous! I hope you have a great (and safe) ride!
