Astromut (OP) Senior Forum Moderator 07/20/2021 09:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here we go. Round 2 do you wanna be a space cowboy. Quoting: redhed6971 I noticed Elon Musk wont be flying on his own companies spacecraft. That's not exactly an equivalent comparison. SpaceX doesn't offer sub-orbital hops for people. Inspiration4 will be the first orbital mission to feature a crew full of space tourists, but that's not the primary reason the crew dragon exists, it's a side benefit. Don't get me wrong though, the government and NASA want SpaceX to defray the fixed costs of operating their crew capsule by selling seats for commercial reasons, but that's not the vehicle's primary reason for existing. It was built first and foremost to ferry astronauts to and from ISS for NASA, and that's exactly what it's been doing. Crew-2 is docked to ISS right now. Orbital spaceflight is a whole different ballgame than a brief suborbital hop. |

All three programs serve different purpose and objectives. “Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.” "Hello, I need a replacement filter for a Hoover Max Extract 60 Pressure Pro." “You actually slaughter each other over affairs of the spirit.” Da’an Earth-Final Conflict |
Astromut (OP) Senior Forum Moderator 07/20/2021 09:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | isnt it a bit of a stretch to call Oliver the youngest astronaut ever. Quoting: T-Man I understand this is high up and 'space' seems to be debatable. But this is hardly what i imagine when i think of an astronaut :-S It crosses the international line of space, 100 km. Spaceflight participant is probably a better term though for paying passengers who aren't trained to actually fly the vehicle. |
