      Yeah, okay. So, every once in a while we can expect a homeless person to get a short trip to space? Sorry darlin’, but it will be for the elite.

      What the fuck does that even mean? Not only is going to space fantastically dangerous, requiring extensive training and preparation (and to be in good health, for that matter), but it’s also something only a *tiny handful* of people are going to be doing, any time soon.

      Happy if normal people who want to are allowed, i never ever want to go to space though.

      The last thing we need is space tourist junking up the rest of the universe like we do on planet. Fuck. Can’t we fix shit here on this planet first? Jesus Christ.

      The first step to making space more accessible is making your rocket reusable.

      The only entities doing this with gusto right now are SpaceX and China trying to copy them.

      You want wealthy people to pay for someone they don’t know? Well, that against the it dogma.

      If they’re letting British people do it, then it’s not very elitist.

      Nah fam I’m alright with it only being for elites. I don’t need to potentially die doing stupid and pointless shit.

      I have absolutely no desire to go into space, none.

      Man fuck this sub, just full of people who know nothing about tech but do nothing but constantly spout off.

      In an age where we are struggling to reduce the CO2 pollution from ordinary air-travel, yeah, let’s send people to space.

      for now, space traveling has exactly 2 categories of purposes:

      1. scientific research, requires qualified experts

      2. vanity program for fundraising, enjoyed by rich fuckers

      which of the two do us common folks fit?? neither. we couldn’t possibly contribute to scientific research in any meaningful way, and most of us we struggle to even pay our mortgages, tf are we gonna fly out of the planet for, unless it’s to get out of debt?
