Space PR
Four civilians are now ready to take the a SpaceX flight in September or later. They had to pay to do it and the cost was not cheap. It is the first step to making commercial flights with civilians. a long-sought goal. Several companies are in development with rockets designed to lift ordinary people into near space or low earth orbit. The first to do it safely will have much to crow about. It will be great PR for the industry. One wonders what it will be like once the novelty wears off. The tenth or hundredth trip won’t be as newsworthy as the first or second. But, what this will do to open space for everyday individuals will be significant. Man isn’t bound to earth. The heavens beckon.
