SpaceX puts you in orbit for three days. I'd fly on any of them given the chance, including Galactic which reaches even lower than the flying wang and only qualifies as reaching space due to the US' 80km measurement of the Karman line, but Bezos is definitely lagging miles behind Space X considering the resources he can (and is) putting into Blue Origin. Still chuffed that Captain Kirk himself went into space for real. Quote

Yup and every trip an environmental catastrophe, but hey we should all junk our existing cars and buy battery ones instead. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jul/19/billionaires-space-tourism-environment-emissions https://www.wired.com/2016/03/teslas-electric-cars-might-not-green-think/ Quote

The other 3 were wearing red ones, and we all know what happens to the people in red uniforms in Star Trek when they land on a planet! Quote

Space tourism, think the pissing competition we are witnessing between narcissistic billionaires is out of control on many levels. Battery car doesn't actually work for my situation, don't drive enough to justify one either. I think they have merit in advancing technology but they are neither the only solution nor cost free in environmental terms, net net though I welcome them. Quote

Would you go up in the Amazon nearly space 🚀? Anyway, dig a hole in the ground and connect all your luxury items to an exercise bike. Live there all cosy and when we die a ready made body skip. 👍 Enjoying life is overrated. Quote

Cade Posted October 14, 2021 Posted October 14, 2021 Bezos and Branson are just pissing about, spending stolen tax money on the biggest toys possible as they can't think what else to with it all. SpaceX are actually aiding proper science and human exploration of space. Quote
Beni Posted October 14, 2021 Posted October 14, 2021 Bezos comes across as a knob here by interrupting as Shatner tries to verbalise his insights from the trip. Bill promptly loses interest. Quote
