Low earth orbit is a waste of time and money. “Space exploration” my rear end.

Yes, for $50 million, let them do or not do whatever they want. I figure the “whinning” is just from NASA and others upset without tourists.

They were lucky, most of the last crew did not make it back.
Here is a still shot from one of the cameras on board of a unlucky crew member....

They had ambitious goals that took longer the they expected, nasa charged axiom to use the station 37k per day. Space charged 50 million for the dragon, all 4 trained for their stay..

The ISS is a national laboratory. Thr Chinese seem the think a station is a good idea, axiom is planning a station and actually building one.

I’m pretty sure there was no whining involved. It was not a vacation. Axiom is planning to build a private commercial space station in the near future. The ISS is a world class laboratory so if you’re going there it is to work there. All baby steps towards a new space economy that will dwarf the economies of earth in time. Perhaps within the life time of some FReepers.
The extra days were due to weather conditions at landing sites and Axiom was not charged for the extra days.

If I had a chance to be in the space station, I would definitely jump at it.
I don’t think my credit is good enough to do a $50,000,000 loan, however.🙁

Just call it a student loan and the government will fight to have it forgiven.

For $50 million you'd expect something a bit more like:
