  1. If I were lucky enough to be on one of these flights someday, I'd have to have Baba Yetu playing over the speakers

  2. Just what planet Earth needs…obscenely rich space tourists who don't care how much fossil fuel is burnt in their search for (not) cheap thrills!

  3. LMAO 🤣🤣 "uhh why do we keep going further and further away" ahhhh

  4. Did not expect any kind of emotional reaction whatsoever but the hair on my arms went up when they cut from the woman bracing herself to unhooking her belt and starting to float. So cool!

  5. Not in real space, boring. I want to see people go around the moon

  6. why the leader of flat earth wont ride this to prove that the earth is flat.

  7. There needs to be some kind of hairnet rule or something

  8. Next batch: flat earthers

  9. What a privilege to get an inside view of all this!

  10. Its neat but the other companies already did this so many times its not very impressive anymore. But very cool.

  11. Wishing you better luck than the Titanic visiters🙏

  12. Reminds me of a fish reaching the top of the water then goin back under..hmmm

  13. Galaxy Gazers '(Gee-Gees)

  14. First braids in space. First Caribbeans in space. Love it.

  15. Someone called these passengers astronauts – that's like calling a chiropractor a doctor.

  16. All people in space are tourist

  17. Mom, what did you do as a teenager? I went into space!!

  18. During their 90 min flight, 540 starving children died of hunger. During their 5 mins of weightlessness, 30 children died of hunger. A $200,000 Virgin Galactic Ticket would have fed 13,330 starving African children for 1 month. (Source: World Food Program $15 per child)

  19. Where's Stanley Kubrick when you need him?

    No stars?

    SURE.

  20. Keep recycling guys, we are making an impact by doing so, unlike these millionaires who pollute the atmosphere 10 times more than us.

  21. Big news?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  22. To oblivion and beyond👩‍🚀🚀🛰️

  23. This is going to end up like the Titan trip to the Titanic

  24. Parabolic flight does not an astronaut make, one must orbit once to say they escaped earth

    I also wonder what chunks are flying off that motor, looks like it is spitting metal sparks out

  25. Environmentally damaging, not really space, not important.

  26. बहुत बहुत शुभकामनाएं आखिर शुरू हो गया अंतरिक्ष यात्री विमान। हम भी जाएंगे पर फ्री टिकट तो मिलना ही चाहिए।

  27. Not really into space, not really important.

  28. Hope it's not made of Discount Carbon Fiber.

  29. They cannot break the strong firmament of GOD🙏🏼❤️🕊 Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon🙏🏼REPENT, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again

  30. You people would lose your life for money.👎👎👎😡😡😡

  31. All I can think about is the Submarine 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ y’all will learn one day

  32. I would be trying not to cry if I was on that because it's my dream to be in space 🌌

  33. We have to criminalize more homeless people, they can't even afford to take their vacations in outer space

  34. 450.000 dollars for a ticket 😱

  35. Me: How much do the tickets cost? Them: $450,000. Me: You gotta Groupon? Geez, the greed and arrogance are on display. Again.
