Last 2 times non astronauts went up they both died a violent explosion. Prayers for these ones a safe return. 3rd times a charm.
It was the Columbia in 2002, I went to pick up the pieces in East Texas, with my fire crew, wasnt too long after that we got shipped off to the superdome after Katrina, then I joined the marines. Now I'm to old for any of that kinda bullshit, and would appreciate a free ride to space for my efforts...I'll ride that giant penis with beezos I don't care

I guess this is the beginning of humans moving out into space.

I bet 100 years from now people will live on the Moon and Mars.
They will also still be homeless and hungry on Earth.

Nobodies living on Mars or the moon. At best. And I mean at very very best. In a long ass time. We will have people stay a period of time MAYBE. But nothing else. I mean that’s my opinion anyhow.

This neglects the various Russian casualties.
No Soviet or Russian Cosmonaut has died during spaceflight since 1971. Soyuz was and still is incredibly reliable-far more so than our shuttles ever were. That said, it honestly doesn't matter if the SpaceX flight has professional astronauts or 2 year olds, it's a completely automated system. They don't even need the touchscreen, it's just in there so people don't freak out.

I'm not going to be alive when it happens that is for sure.
Funny idea : Have you seen those Aztec stone walls and stuff? Cant get a piece of paper in between those stone blocks.
On Mars I bet Mankind will be building stone things again.

I agree with the first part. I should have pointed out that Russians have flown a number of paying civilians. My error.

Really. I was just researching this exact thing early and can’t find anything. Only 7 non astronauts have flown to space. All I can find I had to take a break lol

Are you counting New Shepard? I am not counting anyone on Branson’s shuttlecock.
