Honestly it's almost impossible to care about these "missions to nowhere". Space tourism just doesn't make the connection for me.

I watched with great interest last summer in 2021. I am very curious how it will turn out now. I really appreciate that so many women are participating in this project. That's what makes Virgin Galactic so amazingly special.

Why? Considering how many women have already flown into space or will in the near future, why is this less than inspiring sub-orbital flight meaningful? In fact, to date, 79 women have already flown to, you know actual space. This is an elitist joy ride much like that trip to the Titanic last summer.
