They are not just "Space Tourists". They go thru rigorous training, same training Alan Shepard did for his first space flight, and the x15 pilots. Reason it's been two years since the last flight is the last one had a non-fatal anomaly. Once a coaster buff, I experienced weightlessness in several tower drops, and also 5G's on a few coasters many times, and also zero G's. I also jumped 1000 feet from Stratosphere tower which my old youtube channel @Cactus521 shows and also am a pilot. None of that makes either of us experts on orbital flight, the exploration of which has cost US and Russian lives. Remember those who did not survive orbital flight, did not go that far but survived, and neither of us will be on the "hypocritical list" because anyone, whether in warfare, or at peace, still goes critical when we are called home to our Maker who gives us who disagree the joy of doing so without fighting words mocking our wishes and hopes for those who SpaceX to the ISS, or just test weightless and prefer not to learn to fly by jumping off of perfectly good cliffs or out of perfectly good space ships. The way our neanderthal ancestors observed and learned not to fly that way. 🤣
