The Bezos Sub-Orbital Flight Is Just an Uber Expensive E-Ticket Theme Park Ride.

64. Some people thought air transport would never be practical.

Or cars, or trains.

Do you remember when "air mail" was expensive, and you had to write air mail letters on special light-weight paper?

And orbital transport is the ONLY way to service satellites, or orbital space stations.

Of course, some developmental efforts do not bear fruit. But many do, and exploring those pathways tends to have benefits even if they don't pan out. I worked on a system 20 years ago they didn't turn out to be practical. BUT, many parts of that system were reused and further developed and are in use today.

In my view, your post is motivated by disdain for Bezos, not an honest assessment of the development of this technology.
