So I know nothing about this. I'm curious then, what can suborbital flight help us with? I'm sure it's something, but I'm unsure what it is other than avoiding storms.
I might be wrong, but I believe suborbital flights would help with speed. It can help you travel faster for longer distances.
Not sure if it would take the same amount of energy/fuel though.
So touchdown for Blue Orgin and it seems everything went as accordingly. Fun seeing Wally Funk among the passengers, amazing woman!
Whatever one might think about billionares in space i'm trying to look at it from a bigger picture, hopefully this leads to a big step forward for commercial flight. Sure the day I will afford a ticket is most likely way past my time on this earth.
I forgot to check this out today but glad it went well. To be honest, I thought this flights would come at a higher price tag, but Virgin Galatic flight will (only) cost $250,000. Which is a lot of money for us common people, but not as expensive as I thought it would be. That just means that when technology gets better, and there is more competition around, the price for a space flight will be a lot more reachable for those who want it.
