473: Mac and Cheese
Space Expedition Corporation, Commercial Space Flight Scams
The hosts deconstruct the business model of the Space Expedition Corporation (SXC) and Virgin Galactic, calling them "fantasy rides" for the ultra-rich. They argue that paying $95,000 for a suborbital flight that barely reaches 100 kilometers is a marketing scam designed to sell "astronaut wings" and expensive training courses rather than actual space exploration.
