big step for space tourism to send paying customers to the edge of space for 10 minutes floating in zero gravity

on this flight in July they will take one person who will have bid at least $2.8 million for seat.
If it will be successful they will get more rich customers. 

it will get normalized and cheaper as time goes just like airplane was. Rich folks will always get to play with new toys first as per usual.

I guess we may not need to bring back the guillotines after all—he’s already peacing out of our orbit. Byeeee!

[DelusionalGaga 29,717]

Did he find another planet to exploit or what?

Whatever opinion we have about J. Bezos, we have to admit he's got the balls to take that risk.

Looks like he’s been going to the same clinic as our Gaga

Mr. Magoo goes to Space.

It would be a shame if someone left him in space with no oxygen tanks or suit

Serious question: I presume even a single space launch has a very negative impact on the environment, with the fuel required, pollution produced, etc. (Please correct me if I'm wrong about that).

But Bezos has supposedly committed himself to taking up climate change as a cause, even naming one of our local stadiums "Climate Pledge Arena" (real cringe, but that's beside the point). 

How can you supposedly advocate for climate causes and simultaneously take trips into space for fun and invest in making leisure space travel more mainstream for humans?

This year??!?!? This is the first EVER crewed flight just for a trip, right?! I mean they will not be working. Omg if this trip works, it means there will be a lot more. It’ll basically change space travel forever 

I hooe this doesnt happen for a while

 

Sending stuff to space is extremely energy intensive. The planet really is not ready to add yet another major industry contributing to global warming

 

Lets get global warming under control then we talk about nornalizing space trips en large scales

Yeah i was literally commenting about that

 

Its a super energy intensive process to send anything to space and a lot of manufactured equipment also

 

It would be a huge strain to add to earth if we did space trips in large scales when Global Warming is already nearing dangerous levels as it is
