Branson, Bezos and (to a lesser extent) Musk are all vying to offer space tourism (ie to edge of space and a few minutes of weightlessness). Whilst the number of rockets initially will be inconsequential, its worth remembering that there were few motor cars when they were initially created. Space tourism is essentially a fancy holiday for those with enough money to brag about their experience. I think that non-scientific spaceflight should be banned as once enough people do it, it will potentially make climate change worse simply to satisfy egos. I wonder if tricky dicky has an anytime first class return ticket or an off-peak single?
