I can’t decide which space company I like most SpaceX is farthest along, but feels conventional except for One Weird Landing Trick Blue Origin is what I’d ride if I had $. Most serious about reliability, plus huge windows/best view Virgin feels like actual future preview 🤔

I think there is a meaningful future industry in suborbital flights (anywhere on earth under 2h) LEO seems like stunt tourism. It’ll always remain temperamental bespoke engineering for human presence. Not commodity. Mars seems out of reach with current terraforming tech

Are there reliable (not from Quora, that is, bless them) numbers on what the carbon footprint of such suborbital flights would be?

Hard to imagine how suborbital flights becomes much of a business. Combination of very expensive and terrifying. Safety journey is decades behind commercial flight
