    I can see everyone's excitement over possibility affording a suborbital flight (not even that, more like just high altitude flight with fall back to earth). I would definitely salute them if they ever reach first orbital velocity of 7.8 Km/Sec

      Too bad his rocket can't achieve orbit because that means he'll be coming back.

        From what I could read, lots of people are expecting the billionaires to reach orbit so that they can stay there once they reach it.

        Do not escape reality : improve reality !

              Even better: If they can reach something in excess of 43 Km/s (the sun's escape velocity from earth's orbit), you will never see them again in the entire solar system. :laugh:

                Extend polluting to the galactic level, sounds about right.

                  In that case they will be leaving for the Proxima Centauri which they should reach in about 1,000 years if the cosmic dust do not eat away their hull before
