A lot of flat earthers are gonna feel really stupid

The logic of "theres more important things are happening on earth, so why go to space" is so flawed. Humankind has always benefited from space programs. Most of the technology we use today is a result of the space program.

Many doubters in the comments. I am sure there were many doubters and skeptics before airplanes came out as well. I'm sure the concept of being able to fly accross the ocean in hours instead of spending weeks to months on a boat must have seemed crazy.

I prefer our billionaires investing in space travel then whatever corruption they're normally involved in 🙂🙂

Anyone watching this again after the successful space flight with Richard Branson?

Good report.......but there was no reason to display tweets of some random people who say billionaires should invest in communities, education, etc rather than space. We can do all those things simultaneously. If idiots had their way, we would still be in stone age!

We are living in the future... technology is becoming cheaper and capable of things sci-fi films could only dream of for years

Virgin galactic has been perpetually just about to start commercial launches

The price of those tickets got my eyes watering in half a second...

Loaded on $SPCE. Waiting for it to explode.

Excuse me as I pull out my $10,000,000 limit credit card to buy a ticket. Edit: I said $10,000 originally, I meant $10,000,000 credit card limit. There's the dyslexia again. My bad.

Sorry for the childish comment: When I read "SpaceX, Virgin" I had to think of Mass Effect "Romance Scenes" 🤣

"Why do billionaires spend money on space" Because they can spend their money on whatever they want?

Why didn’t they talk about how spacex and axiom are sending Tom cruise into space next year

Bezos: “We are in the process of destroying this planet” Also Bezos: Owns the world’s largest retailer driving consumerism and next day delivery

“Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement” 🎵

I don't think space tourism meant an 11 minute up down experience. Thank God we have bigger dreamers in spaceX

Of the three space companies featured, only SpaceX actually has a great track record building successful orbital launch rockets that are at least partly reusable.

Richard Branson: At Virgin Galactic, we aim to make space travel available for . . . . . COVID-19: What travel, you say?

Someone call Matt Damon, I cant afford to go to elysium

We going to SPCE baby. The new space race.

$250k for a space ticket. Meanwhile I have 35 dollars in my savings account

This was a really good report, great work!

Everyone gangsta until they see the space multi-million dollar toilet

This is cool but am I the only one who thinks tourists shouldn’t be aloud to post up on the ISS?

Today you can get a super safe flight pretty much anywhere in the world for a reasonable price. 70 years ago only the very very wealthy could afford to fly and it was on much less safe aircraft back then. This is the right step

10:55 Normal rocket boosters start to pitch downrange very early on in the flight in order to achieve orbit. The straight verticle flight path of this rocket can't achieve orbit and never pitches down range.

Jesus, Kasaboski looks like a more dishevelled version of that developer in 'Silicon Valley' Gilfoyle.

I’m excited for the future now

I can't wait for the first space dreadknots :)

6:36 Love that "Edit".... Robie Vaughn,... that Laugh though ? Has such character.🤣like your style my guy👌......🕴🏻

It is heartwarming that human spaceflight is possible again and this time to tourists. The most anticipated is the Inspiration 4 mission when tourists will get to Low earth orbit in September this year by SpaceX.

I hope this new industry will bring more technological innovations.

WHY GRUG INVEST IN FIRE CAVE PEOPLE HAVE OTHER PRESSING PROBLEMS

3:28 When you watched this on a MacBook Pro 🪞

It's really nitpicky, but isn't Michael Sheetz technically wrong when he said Cape Canaveral, FL as the launch site instead of Boca Chica/Starbase, TX? From what I understand, FL is the current launch site of their joint venture rocket launches with NASA, but aren't all of the launches for their next gen ship plus all of the future commercial/tourism based launches slated to be out of TX, right?

I spaced out!

Why do people tell other people what to do w there money does Jeff bezos tell you what do do with your miney

Flat earthers - "They are gonna hypnotize us"

You can already buy an edge of space flight for 20k. Russia sells them with a fighter pilot in a MIG 29. So it's 1/10th the price, plus it includes aerial acrobatics AND a chance to steer the plane.

Looking forward to NKLA's gravity powered spaceship. Their 3D rendering is out of this world and is easily worth $10B.

Except SpaceX isn't betting on space tourism. They're betting on space emigration.

Until trillions of dollars is not poured into antimatter propulsion research, all we have is expensive fireworks, which might get boring after a while.

05:41 In this video I can only conclude one thing, and that is that everyone makes the same mistake in using just one substance for any component construction. This makes an intrinsic error generation which is directly related to any such single component use. Microcracks, microfractures, imperfections building up in any single component happen in every case. Only when more than one substance is used in conjunction, can there be safety. If one substance fails, the other will keep going, and subsequently scanning techniques need to be applied that detect such in a full vehicle scale. Then a failing part can be replaced, even though that part has already failed, while remaining functional. (Other words, one substance has failings in it, the other kept providing function, the whole component needs replacing, replacing both substances. Since more than one substance is used, they can't fail at the same time, since both fail at different times and under different circumstances.) That is one of the main anti-error mechanisms that should be incorporated into spaceflights Just trying to get more and more on a single flight by weight reduction is all fun, but for serious business the number of mishaps needs to be neigh-on zero, or rather nearing zero or better yet zero absolute. There can be errors, but no true accidents as a result, leading to loss of life. (When something receives stress, it creates error in the substance it's made of, and then subsequently starts failing. When a single substance is used, the stress tolerance lowers over time with use. Using dual or triple substance application for each single component, these sustances would all fail in a different time frame, and thus they would not fail simultaneously. The fractured subsatnce can then be checked for, and indicate full component replacement neccesity. Although this comes at a tiny weight increase, which isn't neccesarily the worst, if allowed to fail, any critical compent failure would end in disaster, and that's bad for tourism. Any money gained by over weightreduction would now be lost again, and any company's name tarnished, resulting in stock dives as well as damage claims, insurance rising and whatnot. Lives lost that could have been saved is always bad.)

Why, halfway through this video, has Virgin been the only company covered? Virgin has done almost nothing despite working on this for a decade and a half

I'm waiting for a one "G" rotating station.

Space Exploration is important and it can benefit us in the short and long run

There's a larger point to be made here. Inequality and luxury spending drive innovation and a higher standard of living for everyone else.

So we're just gonna ignore what Starship will be?

Amazing what will happen in our lifetime after waiting for so long! :) Can't wait for M2M (Moon to Mars)!

Great video 👌

Imagine how space flight would have been if earth had lower gravity, we would probably be on other planets by this time

I hope commercial space flight becomes financially affordable within the next 20 years.

In the near future: what a $23 Trillion trip to the moon gets you

current way of reaching outer space is using booster to harness escape velocity. Imagnine if we can solve gravity problem. We can get easily to outer space. the big cost all gose to boosters

These guys were somewhat ahead of their time with #flightstonowhere lol Ignoring legacy Aussie / Kiwi flights over Antarctica

Space tourism for everyone Twinkle twinkle little star Honey moon

Jeff who?

I'm NOT looking forward to the day when "SPACE FLIGHT" becomes as routine as commercial terrestrial airline service. When the "magic" allure and exclusivity are lost?... The WHOLE thing becomes routine and unappreciated for the absolute MIRACLE such things truly are! A triumph of human genius and enterprise. Count me out!!!

Massive potential. Do any of these guys ever look at the technology? Is the technology robust enough to achieve a high flight rate? Oh, the astronaut training program is an MOU with NASA, not a contract. If NASA likes whatever plan they develop, it would lead to an agreement. It's not really clear Blue Origin cares that much about tourism. New Shepard has achieved most of its goals as a technology demonstrator for orbital rockets and spacecraft. You got that right.

Because TikTok'ers and Instagrammers are running out of songs to dance to.

Out of all of them I think SpaceX will be the one to accomplish all of these things

It could be like buying a plan ticket to travel from far places in like day

glaring fact was the 5 or 6 identical 15 second adds from Verizon 5G service.

"I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers"

From around 19:20 "analysts argue that the growing wage gap will allow the richest of the rich to pay for these trips, so it could work out for Virgin Galactic." The narrator just quietly defended NEEDLESS income inequality.

But you have to ask the question is it the edge of space that is meeting of atmosphere of the earth or is it the end of space? Cuz if it's the second one you can't make good on that promise because we don't know where the hell the edge of space actually freaking is but if it's the first one go ahead.

0:18 you know when this dude gets involved it’s gonna be lit so you got Elon and the guy from Virgin airlines 😍😍😍

This video comes out and the stock jump 25%, sucks to be late : (

This this is just a big ad for Virgin Galactic

the future is so exiting!

I think it’s a good bet, there is certainly a market for this. It’s just a bit early

less space tourism, more space mining. "He who has the gold makes the rules."

Santhosh George Kulangara, the first Space Tourist from INDIA with Virgin Galactic. All the very best SGK sir 🤗❤️✨️

It's Rocket Science... Literally.

They're making it sound like space tourism is super risky for SpaceX and Blue Origin. Blue Origin is putting a lot of money into tourism, but both companies have significant stakes in more proven launch markets. New Glenn will probably be very successful for Blue Origin. To think of tourism as being "risky" for SpaceX at this point feels a bit foolish. They are the only private company to get people into space on their own rocket thus far, and they are doing very well in all their other business ventures. From a business standpoint, whether tourists want to fly with SpaceX is just a different kind of customer. SpaceX has the hardware available, and someone's willing to pay. What's risky about that? I feel that SpaceX is trustworthy in their ability to keep tourists safe as well. The only risk I am anticipating in commercial space is too many people coming up before the outdated ISS is ready to handle them. Looking at all that exposed equipment... the ISS is not ready to handle a bunch of tourists. I hope Axiom can get things up and running quickly.

Humans finally colonize Mars. **The Sun becomes a Red giant and swallows up the inner part of the Solar System. RIP Earth and Mars.**

Virgin and SpaceX started around the same time. Virgin is not going to reach any goals. In fact, Blue Origin has changed their motto to "Step by Step...if at all"

Space tourism will be huge! A person will be able to go from an Earth spaceport to an in-space spaceport/hotel, baggage check to baggage claim, in less than two hrs. is my guess. Have dinner, attend a meeting, seminar, or facility tour, then return to land and home by the end of the day, or stay-over in the space hotel. When accommodations are available in space for tourists, my guess is there'll be as many if not more serious minded people visiting and using the accommodations for research and business reasons. Starships will hopefully be operating service from various nations/continents to space hotel/station hubs where passengers connect with Starships for their appropriate Earthbound leg of their journey. So I see the space station tourist hotels operating as hubs to other Starship operating routes. Perhaps SpaceX Starships can be manufactured, then sold to independent Starship line operators, just as Boeing and others sell their aircraft to independent operators. Plus, around this time that these space tourism hotels/hubs begin service, there'll probably be some in-space manufacturing start-ups beginning to appear in space, as well, hopefully not too far from the tourism activity etc.

Why not invest on edge of space trip, where Falix Baumgartner? Make a craft that can to high altitude like the Mig-31 and SR-71.

6:27 when you get that space ticket instead of your friends

Because it's the Disney land of the future.

Expensive tickets and tiny market. Launch providers stand to make a few $hundred million. Launch providers who mine the Moon and asteroids stand to make $trillions. What kind of terrestrial vacation does $250K buy? Round-the-world cruise in the most luxurious suite.

It is a start. Getting average people into space especially as a point to point Earth based travel is a good thing. Now let's get the prices down eventually. Space tourism is good but to be honest point to point via an orbital route is more important for most people.

I rather die in space release my soul to the heavens of space lol

if you cant afford a ticket to the space then at least buy the stock!

You put the lime in the coconut. Then..... you mix it all up!

Space tourism may change into space transportation and also kind of test out some things😐

Soon we will need international laws to regulate this new frontier.

Virgin Galactic $SPCE has huge potential, Q1 they launch with paid customers!

Blue origin will follow Amazon PRICE ttyl where it will under cut the price towards what competitors are asking and just like Amazon provide a quick but not so good experience . Virgin galactic ~ will follow it's airplane ticket logic were price will p based on availability and service will be extremely good just like when virgin air used to provide ice cream ,something special .. Space x will be quick and easy like a cargo

Space tourists who bought seats on a Soyuz spacecraft were in space for almost two weeks for a price of 20-30 million. These new private ships will last over the karman line for a couple of minutes but you'll have to spend up to a million for this?

Buying the stock to fund rich people's space trips

Although i agree that its a new space race. I think saying SpaceX and blue origin is betting on space tourism is not entirely accurate. They are working more towards heavy duty rockets for longer travels to open accessibility to space for resources and exploration, not really tourism, although that is a factor. That's a partial flaw in this video, the beginning of it started as explaining the cost benefit of tourism as a source of revenue. While there was another point that was brought up that people think you should concentrate on problems on earth, and actually alot of issues on earth is also the result of restricted or limited resources or solutions on earth, which solutions and resources can possibly be found via space exploration. The one "bet" that this video should have brought up is Space X's plans on Starship which would bring in more revenue than all these "space tourism" plans, where larger masses of people can be transported within hours to anywhere on earth, not just transporting cargo. Its more scaleable.

$250,000 dollars 3 days of training to spend a few minutes outer space.

SpaceX isn't betting on tourism. they have a world wide internet network being set up right now, and will be making space a whole lot more accessible these things are a hell of a lot more profitable then tourism. tourism may help some initial funding but it's far from a Bet.

Global warming ? Let's burn a bunch of fuel so rich people can take a photo. Humanity deserves itself.

Humans always put their self-interest above the earth, One man's esoteric experience can only harm our planet.

Human beings are explorers, adventurers, we need to move ahead and out of our comfort zone is what makes us unique in the world of animals and why we're the top dogs in the food chain.

Dan Brown has a book for this.
