As much as I'd love to see space I feel that there is still a lot of planet Earth I'd rather explore first. What do you think?
I agree. Maybe I'm just too scared of the all the unknowns at this point, but I really ought to at least go to Paris before I go space - right 😉
Hahahah same. So many countries I want to see before even attempting space tourism. Also, I'd wait for a good amount of successful flights to be completed first 😅
haha you know I was thinking the same thing, like, "is it safe?!" I'm a scaredy cat with that stuff.
Definitely still want to explore everything that Earth has to offer, but the lure of being one of the first people taking a commercial flight into space sounds really attractive. Might be in history books eventually!
haha really? data wise you think that's an equal comparison... 😄the volume of trips is still too low for me
As a brand choice I would choose not to go with Virgin Galactic and wait for a competitor. But hell yes I choose space, looking forward to moving to Mars someday.
cool! You'd like to live on Mars? Even after watching The Martian? hehe
I will wait till I'm old and grey — what a way to checkout, a trip to space with a short stay on Mars. Branson should launch a pension plan with a trip to space when you reach a set age.
That'd be dope! And then figure out how to use Moon resources to better our life on Earth. Moon Lotion, anyone?
I would but I’d wait until it’s a regular thing like planes.
I feel you!
I think this a very volatile market. It’s not investable. Pushing barriers Is always great to see but there are so many variables involved for me. No amount of lush marketing will extinguish my personal fears.
I hear you, great points made.
Yup. But I'll never be able to afford to 😂
No
I prefer to travel on a plane. This blog info is is more than transportation—it's a well-oiled machine for your tour. From equipment storage to timely arrivals, we've got the details covered so you can focus on the music.
