#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.

"Virgin Galactic reveals new ship, but it’s running out of time and cash" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - No revenue while not flying, having retired old spacecraft model. Lots of expenses building a new spacecraft at a new factory (moved from Mojave CA to Mesa/Phoenix AZ). Quarterly financials show cash reserves falling fast enough to question if flight testing can be done in time. https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/05/the-suborbital-space-tourism-industry-is-on-life-support/ #NewSpace #VirginGalactic #aviation #avgeek #space #spacegeek

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.
