Space tourism already exists. It just costs millions. Reusable rockets + market competition = the same curve that made flying ordinary. The 2040s are the hinge. by @susanfourtane.bsky.social

#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.

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?
