An 11-Minute Flight To Space Was Just Auctioned For $28 Million

If I had $28 million to spend on an 11 minute flight to space… I wouldn’t. I’d save that money to fly to *orbit.* Or buy myself a SPECTRE-class lair somewhere in the mountains with a CIWS and a nuclear powerplant. But it is an undeniable social good that there are people rich enough to splurge on frippery like this; by blowing *vast* sums on adventures that us po foke could never dream of, the price of such ventures will come down due to increased investment. Those jackholes who want to limit income to $500K a year, or tax wealth out of existence, are working to make sure that trips to space, whether short joy-hops like this or emigrant flights to Mars or Ceres, never happen.
