One of these is not like the others

Something doesn't add up. Did they really go to "space" or just a high altitude parabolic flight to achieve a few moments of weightlessness? Just saying.

Guess it depends on how they define "space"!

Probably just to the Kármán line, the generally recognized point where "space" begins. I think the whole event took about ten minutes.

"Open Door policy"?

My guess is fifty miles. They kissed space and then came back down.

It’s a Disney type ride. They paid admission and passed the “You have to be this tall to get on” sign.

According to CNN, the Kármán line is 62 miles above the earth, and Blue Origin goes from 62 to 68 miles high. It is not without controversy though.

I saw an interview with one of those ASTRONAUTS and she was defending what they did by saying that it was exactly what Alan Shepard did. You can't argue with a mind like that.

Maybe they also stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

Whie true it compares more with the early 60s sub orbital launches, back then it was all new and the tech pales in comparison to what can be done today. And it was known to be just the first step towards actual orbits. Who knows where this type tourism will go or just stay as it is.

Hopefully one way trips for these rich entitled wanna-be’s

Must say I am enjoying the controversy more than I ought. (On that note maybe I'll have lunch at Wendy's)
