  1. ANTIGUAAA❤️❤️🇦🇬🇦🇬🚀🚀
    My land my home
    So much respect for Keisha and Ana💫❤️🚀

  2. This is just giving rich people a pat on the back. only 1% of people have the money to afford this.

  3. Not very cool, didnt even go to space. 50 miles isn't space, its over 60 miles up

  4. Not really space, more like edge of the atmosphere

  5. All them women’s. 😢

  6. ..WOW! 😲HISTORY! WAS MADE ONCE AGAIN!! 💯🚀👏🤓❤

  7. More victims. Great way to start the weekend. Nothing like humans proving just how bored and crazy they are.

  8. Keyword here is flight, not Orbit.

  9. Hopefully they won’t be like ocean gate

  10. They didnt leave the atmosphere, doesnt count.

  11. 87 comments… Space X all day

  12. And here comes the anti progress submarine idiots. So what? Just because 5 people died from a dollar tree company that should stop humanity from progressing? No. Plus, you cannot compare a low budget backyard project to a competent company. That's like comparing a DIY rocket to a delicately engineered rocket. Or a DIY sub to a nuclear sub.

  13. Didn't they go bankrupt?

  14. Clearly we learned NOTHING from the submarine 🙃😮‍💨

  15. Space Motel 6 – Here I come!

  16. ❤ Thank goodness!! Happy Return To Earth ! Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊

  17. Is that Mario Lopez’s sister sitting on the left at 0:54?

  18. You cant get me to go see the Titanic, or fly around the planet, yet all of this is so incredible. If I had to choose: Space. Who knows who'll we'll meet. 🦑🐙

  19. They went to the edge of the earth not the actual space They need to go a lot higher

  20. Looks like fun but I don't think that's real space.

  21. Four space tourists on board the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission safely splashed down off Florida’s coast, completing the first-ever three-day mission in Earth’s orbit with no professional astronauts on board.

  22. ok, so, what does this to do with us the normal people? Most of us aint pay million/ticket to see how space looks like.

  23. I hope your fakeness passes the test of Christ🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

  24. They never miss a photo op fake as they come🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

  25. I heard they are using game controllers

  26. This is absolutely incredible!!❤🚀⭐🌍

  27. I thought they did their first one last month

  28. wow. . rich people do things that are pointless with their money. not news to me.

  29. Diversity is our greatest strength.

  30. What is the point of this?? They didn't even officially get to space… Just a rich persons ride and they absolutely should not be called astronauts…

  31. I love seeing braided hair in space! ❤🫶🏽❤️
    Thank you, Mr. Branson! He’s always been kind, never disrespectful to black women.

  32. I remain unimpressed by the whims of the uber wealthy.

  33. Man that's crazy. Sci fi becoming reality really is amazing

  34. Wayyy better than going into the submarine

  35. 54 miles is only 285,000ft.
    Technically, the title of "Astronaut" is given to those going over 300K.
    I wonder why they stayed below that level.
