I like the cool, slick and futuristic look. Almost like a spaceship in a videogame.

Hopefully they´ve tested this spaceship very thoroughly because personally, I wouldn´t trust that spaceship´s technology and safety at this point yet.

But it does look great. Much more airplanelike on the outside compared to those shuttles, yet very sci-fi on the inside.

I wonder who the first tourists will be and if they´ll like their first flight.

Between NASA's failures and successes over these past 70 years, then include those of SpaceX, I would think the kinks have been worked out to an acceptable level. I'd love to see the impact on society as more people get to see with their own eyes the globe as only a few people in the world have so far. What happens when it'll be 10s or 100s of thousands, eventually maybe millions. I understand that the impact of seeing a picture of the planet earth is what spurred conservation movements we see today.

EX? I wanna be enlightened, do tell?
It's funny the hardest part of all the hard parts of space travel is getting back on this planet in one piece. Earth's atmosphere is no joke.

All the stuff they have to do just to open the door and let them out, geesh.



Actor Tom Cruise, for example, is working with NASA to eventually film a movie aboard the ISS, the space agency says.
