Virgin Galactic reaffirms plans to begin commercial service this year
#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.
