So, people are going to pay a lot of money to go on an aircraft that does nothing more than go up in the air and come down? The goal of course is to see the earth from as high as you can without having to put on a spacesuit.

A lot of money, a lot of risk and not much reward. I can do the same exact thing by shutting off my lights and bringing up Google Earth.

Yep, that’s what I thought too. I think it a tax “loss write off” investment for a lot of huge corporations. If I remember right Google is one of these.

People are paying for 10 minutes of weightlessness and to see the curvature of the earth.
