Seems cheap, right?
What about all the training needed to ready someone for a so called mission, which is what they call it, tourist or not.
What about the cost of the specially fitted space suits they apparently have to have. Has that been downgraded to a set of overalls and a motorbike helmet or something?

What about the poundage cost of getting a person up to the so called space station.
Wasn't it something like $10,000 per kilo or something, or if not, what was it we were told?

I do believe they will have tourists going to the space station but the tourists will be actors and the space station will be part of a ongoing box set series documenting each and every actor and all the CGI accompanying their act.

PFFFFFFFFFT. :P

they will do it on a zero gravitation aircraft in the near orb goes with the speed of lie an ordinary aircraft. and their excuses will be in the form that ISS has started to fly low to get tourists. with which plane can you catch, dock and ride an object traveling at 27,000 km / h? no plane. :D it's like catching a bullet and riding on it. :))

Not possible!
On the ISS "zero-g" is continuous but look:
Quote
The flight portion of a ZERO-G Experience® lasts approximately 90 to 100 minutes.
During the flight 15 parabolas are performed each providing about 30 seconds of reduced gravity or weightlessness.
Not only that but the rocket flight up would be impossible to simulate on earth.

Maybe NASA are counting a “night” as every time there’s a sunset and sunrise?

Sneaky buggers.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is opening up a space station to tourism.

NASA said it would open the International Space Station for “private astronaut missions of up to 30 days,” with the first mission as early as 2020.
As Boeing and SpaceX are developing capsules to carry humans to the ISS, the agency said the two companies will handle these private tourists and any services related to them.

NASA will start with two private astronaut flights a year, with each trip lasting 30 days maximum each.
With NASA getting $35,000[1] for each night a private astronaut spends on the International Space Station.

[1] Each trip will likely cost over $50 million in necessary transport costs to be arranged with 3rd party.

Trivago has it for $32,600 per night.

I generally book last minute to try to get cheap offer, but you can’t be too picky about where you stay.

So you might have to make do with strapped to a wall space no 8 instead of strapped to a wall space no 5.

Nasa is to allow tourists to visit the International Space Station from 2020, priced at $35,000 (£27,500) per night.

The cost to stay is trivial compared to the taxi fare to get there.

Think its being just 50 kms altitude zero gravity plane then taxi fare becomes unimportant. With this, NASA has proved ISS's not being orbit. Now they will think on this, they will correct it.  ;)
Do 24/7 zero-g planes exist?

So Virgin Galactic flights will still be cheaper then for access to space, al be it 'only' suborbital and for a short time.

Yeah, but the ISS would be far cooler.

I’d be a bit cornered they might not have adequate bar facilities or a smoking area though.

Whatever you have to say about space tourism, hoax, faked on earth, liar, whatever, it is not future tense, it is pasy tense. Richard Garriott (creator of Ultima), spent 12 days in space. I recall there have been others that paid the Russians over the past several years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Garriott

He is also a ham radio operator who communicated with students on the flight. Ham radio operators have several technical reasons to use RE, direction to point highly directional beam antenna, amsat.org launched a satellite they made on SpaceX, and moonbounce. Try going to a ham radio club and telling them the earth is not round.

Richard Garriott: liar, or Disney ride con victim? NASA (in coordination with the Russians who trained and transported him on Soyuz) threatened to kill him and his family if he didn't act like it all happened? Maybe there never was an Ultima game and the whole thing is a phony NASA persona? Pretty easy to say "fake news" on a web site. Faking all the space flight stuff, that's impressive, pretty much as impressive as actual space flight, in a different way.

As for more space tourists, private countries, nations, satellites, lunar landers, etc, I do not see it affecting FE. There is already huge evidence that spaceflight is real, nothing make it through the FE deflector shields, using the classic tactics: You haven't been to space, NASA hoax, etc. Repeat as needed. 10 years from now, FE will be exactly what it is now, it can never break out and take over university, text books, scientists, etc, either because they are a giant multi-generational multi-national conspiracy of scientists, govt, space programs, ship's captains, astronomers, science teachers, astronomers, pilots, and others for some reason going to immense effort to hide the true shape of the earth, or the earth is round.

Is it possible for something to be both true and unproven?

Are things that are true and proven any different from things that are true but not proven?
