  1. No, a ten minute ride into Space with Katy Perry does not make you an astronaut lady, just as flying in a jet doesn't make you a pilot...

  2. Private Space Tourism is maturing — moving beyond experimental flights toward commercial offerings with clear market strategies. Read our latest analysis on the industry’s trajectory, key players, and what commercialization means for travelers and investors: wix.to/0BOvr4Y

  3. #ArsTechnica says "The suborbital space tourism industry is on life support".

    Well, duh. Some ridiculously high price for 7 minutes of microgravity (or whatever) is bullshit. You don't even reach the Kármán line (100 km)! They redefined some other threshold at 80 km just so you could say you went to space. Hint: if you have to redefine a common, long-agreed term, you're not adhering to the letter or the spirit of the law/guideline.

    It's orbit or GTFO.

  4. Fascists hate Hope, adventures in Space give people Hope, NASA gets it's budget cut drastically.
    That money isn't going on Hospitals and Schools, is it? We could have both, but the Oligarchs give us neither.

    10 minute jaunts into Space is all they can manage, and with Katy Perry, who the fuck cares?

    The trip to space costs 750,000 US dollars 💰. At the end of 2024, the company announced that around 650 customers were waiting for their flight.

  6. Top level peeps at Blue Origin told employees they are "pausing" flights of its New Shepard rocket to focus resources on "human lunar capabilities" aka future missions to land humans on the moon. Employees indicate they think this is the cancellation of the program. npr.org/2026/01/30/nx-s1-56946 #Space #BlueOrigin #NewShepard #Moon #MoonLanding #Rocket #SpaceTravel #SpaceCraft #SpaceTourism

  7. @isaackuo I presume the majority of manufacturing will be #robotic, but they predict a market "from mining and construction to #hospitality" pwc.com/us/en/industries/indus. There are enough potential "first customers" for #SpaceTourism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ and just as in aviation #LaunchCost prices will fall (as soon as enough human-rated rockets are available).

    Have you picked the #crew yet?

    We are in deep negotiations with both #private individuals 🧑‍🚀 and nation states. Especially with the Q1 2027 launch 🚀 date, in our desire to follow with the crew right after, this is now becoming pretty urgent. We believe we can compress training on #Dragon and #Haven1 to maybe as little as six months.

    The first #hotel, an inflatable structure, would be launched in 📆 2032 and would be capable of supporting up to four guests at a time. The next iteration beyond this would be the fancier structure, built from #Moon bricks 🧱

  14. Altitude alone isn't a sensible way to define an #astronaut. Flying on a commercial airliner ✈️ does not make you an aviator. Riding in a ferry ⛴️ does not make you a mariner. Stepping into a #rocket 🚀 is an insufficient condition for #astronaut wings.
    Orbital #tourism must reach #orbital speeds of approximately 28,000 km per hour. Orbital tourists spend more time in Space 🌌 and travel farther from Earth cambridge.org/core/books/who-o
