Yes, no point in going in a sub orbital flight. You can do a few seconds in

And you get only a few seconds, and you don't get to see the Earth from

actually afford it at the moment (i.e. the ones whose opinions matter).
Fortunately, your opinion of it has very little to do with whether or
not it'll be a commercial success.
