It’s to fund development of commercial grade space travel.
It’s gonna be expensive at start, but as it’s economised, less dangerous, more accessible, demand picks up, more infrastructure, even more accessible and bam commercial air travel/EV/Cars only in space.
So in your mind there can be no good that comes out of this?
What about continually advancing the tech on a celebrities dollar so we can get people living on the moon and elsewhere eventually. What about the learned experiences from launches so we can eventually start sending up mining equipment for all the minerals in asteroids?
Yes it sucks for the Earth. I wish it didn’t. But if celebrities keep going up to space for a short amount of time, there going to eventually want to stay there. And when in the hotel they’ll want to go to the moon, and so on and so on.
I would love for this to be done through NASA or done do more good come come from it faster, but they literally stopped because public interest wasn’t high enough

And those dollars being spent are destroying our planet even more than private planes…
You’re acting like shooting a rocket almost to space is somehow making technology better, which is just completely baseless…
It sounds like you heard about how money invested in NASA generates innovation and parents the government owns which does trickle down into consumer products.
But you’re completely ignoring that even if these useless trips resulted in fucking any advances, a private corp will own all the parents and profit off any advancements.
but they literally stopped because public interest wasn’t high enough
Just completely ignorant of what you’re talking about
They definitely were getting their budgets cut left and right for a while, since not enough people cared about NASA and going to space. So much so that we couldn’t replace the shuttle program and were backing everything on Russian rockets.
Since Space X and others have been sending more people to space, NASAs funding has only went up. Because public interest is back and wants us to do it here.
So yeah, they had to stop sending up rockets cause public interest wasnt high enough.
Also, any rocket going up provides data. So yeah, launching a rocket almost to space even 1 times provides a lot of feedback. You’re talking like almost to space is the goal. The goal will keep getting pushed further and further until its not just scientists living in space. And then when that happens the goal will get pushed even further.
Plus, how many more people that wouldn’t be interested in space at all are going to at least be curious cause their favorite celebrity went? How many Katy Perry fans got to see their first rocket launch cause she went almost to space?

Bruh…
You realize private planes are already a huge environmental hit, right?
Do you have any idea how much worse it is so some rich asshat can go to space?
Or that if they used it for “travel” it would still be much worse than private planes?
Just for the ultra wealthy to save a few hours when covering over like 25% of the planet.
You have put zero thought into this and it shows
All development is spending superflous resources at low efficiency.
I agree it’s totally tone deaf in the climate crisis, I’m just saying it’s business as usual. Billionaires gonna billionaire until someone stops them.

You’re just thinking so small minded

I know the chances of me going to space are slim to none at best
I’ll still root for the advancements of space travel cause not everything is about me
