[ I’ll take ‘Gravity’ for $100, Alex. ]
I had to take motion sickness medication to even watch that film....
I really have to wonder if the “elite” want to restrict access to space by us plebes....
I’m an adventurous person and race cars for fun, but anyone considering going into “space” on Spaceship 2 needs to watch the documnetary on Spaceship 1 winning the X prize.
You will not want to go into space after watching that.
Chosing between “getting Ebola” or going into space on Spacehip 2, would be a tough decision for me to make.
The nightmare scenario for most elites, is that the productive members of their societies have someplace to go where they can use their talents outside of the reach of the rules, regulations, and taxes the elites impose.
For a long time, the United States filled that function, even though in the early days (1600's and 1700's) the voyage to get here was expensive and dangerous. Now we are becoming so regulated and taxed that the most talented would jump at a chance to go elsewhere that was better.
