Do you think space tourists are people with a bit too much money and nothing useful to do ? That is what a lot of us think about those who burn a huge amount for such a craze. Anyone with a decent understanding of science will know that a space trip is a bad experience and can cause health problems.

I have mixed opinions like I guess it be something fun to do but at the same time when it’s repeatedly done it’s just not useful at all and they definitely don’t have anything else to do.
 
People with health conditions should never be allowed to go to space. Especially elderly people. But in the end, everything comes to money and common sense.

I could not agree more!
Like they’re trying to protect us from this current pandemic the same should apply to this, If it’s a risk stay safe.
 
Nice badges admin. But there is no like option in that topic.

It is all about flaunting their money, this space tourism. Pleasure through envy.

Anytime I’m glad you like this! :)
I thought it be much better then the text rank system.

That is true, When NASA sends someone in to space they make a ton of money from it I heard.
 
I'm honestly fine with it. But should be available to all, not just the rich. I would love to go to space, it's honestly been a dream of mine.

I'm sure by the time we are able to travel to space, we will have spacecraft with artificial gravity and such.

As long as they’re sure that they have no health issues I’m fine with it as well,

I’ve always loved astrology and astronomy I’ve always found it all interesting so if I had the chance I go to space.
 
It may sound like a waste of money, but we need to get off of earth and expand (not sure if good or bad thing), one way or another the rich is paving the road for humanity's future.

I’ve always loved everything to do with space so that I can agree with. Space in itself is amazing and the earth is connected to space.
 
Space is dangerous too. It is the same as drifting through the ocean in a lifeboat. It really depends on luck that a space travel does not end in a disaster.
 
I will say that I LOVE astronomy. But while it would be great to be a space tourist, I could not imagine ‘wasting’ that money frivolously when so many people on Earth need clean air, fresh water, real food.
As for health problems, I can imagine there would be some. But then too, those who can afford to go up in space are the rich who could afford treatments.
