You are confusing "from space" with "from orbit".
Actually, an earlier generation of that same vehicle already made two trips to the edge of space, and back, with a human pilot and ballast equivalent to two passengers in 2004. The same ship made both flights, six days apart.
The next footprints on the moon will be from the Dr Scholl’s sandals worn by a tourist who flew there in a Burt Rutan-designed spacecraft.
You are right... I stand corrected. They are different. But the question still remains, what practical use is this going to have? If it can’t make it out of our atmosphere and reenter, what good is it for the millions they have dumped into this thing and the millions they going to continue to dump into it? Just for “joy rides?”.
It’s a high profile tax shelter... :)
