Human testing, obviously.

Such negative sentiment. Not everything is about rebelling against billionaires you know? Space travel is following the same innovation curve as any other mode of travel. Remember how expensive a car used to be, or flying? Those used to be only for the wealthy, now you can hop on a flight to the other side of the content for less than 100 Euro. It will eventually be the same for space travel. The cost of space cargo is coming down quickly, which will enable us to explore "the final frontier". I hope I get to experience it in my lifetime and it isn't really outside the realm of possibility either.

You get to see dead rocks and when you come back, you can't walk anymore (because you spent too much time in Zero-G).

What a perfect idea of a vacation... 🙃

I mean it was never going to magically go from highly selective to anyone being able to go to space overnight. As time goes on and technology advances the "too much money" bar drops lower and lower.

Hopefully if society doesn't collapse, it might be feasible for an average person to do it as a once in a lifetime experience.

Maybe we get to see a rocket full of billionaires go pop. That'd be neat.

Both the "space" and "travel" parts of "space travel" are disputable there. It's not even "space tourism". I'll maybe give you "high altitude tourism". Space tourism, to me, implies spending an extended period in space, not a minute or two. That's barely enough time for a satisfying wank.

What about Strauss-Kahn who lost the french presidency election because he wanked in front an hotel employee ?
