    • < THIS is what I came in here for

      Thanks, inv :)      Nairn
    • Was having tough start to week until I saw this.hotroddy
    • blimey, a car crash of a presentationhans_glib
    • You build it, they'll come. Nice to see first customer. Proof that sometimes you just got to build it to get people wanting it.shapesalad

    • He’s so awkward yet endearing._niko
    • What a waste of money and resources. Disgraceful. Egomaniacs, both of them.chukkaphob
    • ^ I like that. Means he's human!mugwart
    • what does that mean? "he's human?" Everyone is human. But these 2 are selfcentered wasteful egomaniac CLINTs.chukkaphob
    • exploration is the reason you exist chukka. He is the modern day Magellanhotroddy
    • ^ LMAO!chukkaphob
    • Wasting everyone's resources to achieve something that has already been achieved half a century ago. For one billionaire.mekk
    • It's a creative subsidy for a test flight. Either you get it, or you're against the very idea of developing space travel.
      'SMH' as someone here often says      Nairn
    • Well, we know how he dies.ShenanigansTV
    • I am absolutely against space tourism. WTF people, we already destroy our own planet by intense traveling, are we exporting pollution to space now as well? smhmekk
    • fuck's sake, space is exactly the best place for pollution - it's Bezos' ambition to promote off-world industrialism, all this is grist to the millNairn
    • I sure hope you live your own life as parsimoniously and sanctinomiously as you imply here... no flights abroad, etc? No wee drives or use of plastic?Nairn
    • Besides which, if the BFR works, it'll burn methane, which can potentially be created carbon-neutrally (indeed, is the point at the Mars end)Nairn
    • btw, when I said 'space travel' I didn't specifically mean 'space tourism', rather the general evolution of that capability.Nairn
    • ^ no flights, <5k ml /year driving, avoiding plastic when possible, yes. no big deal trying to have a low footprint.mekk
    • Aye, likewise, although having a foreign partner who needs to go home twice a year has slightly fucked my intents. yet I think space tech's worth it.Nairn
    • You can visit your partner in space then, wohomekk
    • They will have an orgy in space, and for the first time it won't be pixellatedpinkfloyd
    • so far we haven't found any life - so the pollution argument doesn't hold up.hotroddy
