How about starting a go Fund Me to buy Ellie a seat .....??

Thank you Delta airlines

Why is everyone hating on the Starliner capsule? 🤔 It's 5-7 years late depending on how you count it. 😂 Kinda what Boeing does. Their past performance should be used against them for all future NASA bids.

It' pronounced poo-keeh. Best poke. Hawaiian word. It's not japanese.

Enter rational thought. Pic-A-Stat. As of November 2023, a total of 676 people have flown into space on the now obsolete Space Shuttle. 19 of them have died. This is a fatality rate at 2.8 percent. There are compelling reasons to undertake deadly activities ( see excerpt historical fact below) but being a space tourism civilian "test pilot" is clearly not one of them. "Historians today note that nearly 10,000 sailors from the U.S. Merchant Marine died at sea during World War II. Considering the relatively small size of that wartime military branch, the number was devastating. In fact, the Merchant Marines was, by proportion, America's deadliest service branch during the early 1940s.)

Starship will drastically lower those costs!

Lander too tall, too instable . Ksp

russians sell tickets to space. ... or used to.

ISS is a bottleneck, which will not allow for more than two privat missions a year. More orbital plattforms are coming soon. Some with special hotel modules. Let's see how that might fix prices.

Thanks Ellie. Wishing you the best.❤

In the future there will be a commercial space station/hotel & companies like blue origin & rocket lab will fly people up there & back...

Lol, I see a cat owner judging from back of that hoodie.

Its going to be a long long time before the middle class can afford to fly in space. They talk about humans becoming multiplanetary-sure-but only for PHD's and the rich. There has been a microscopic amount of ordinary people who have flown in space and that's going to be the case for at least the next century.

Love the content thanks 👍 But you forget to mention the next-level commitment with SpaceX joyride, which requires substantial training that lasted weeks, unlike virgin galactic, like a 3 hours course 😜

that shirt is FULL of hair

1:01 "How much are these tickets, I'm going to tell you." 17:10 "No prices have been listed." I just watched the video for 19 minutes based on a lie!

You look so beautiful and very fit you doing a great job and you are very sexy too

I'm just curious what the travel insurance premium will be or if any insurance company will take on these spacefarers.

I mean... the cat hair :)

Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic are supposedly in the suborbital tourist business. But their real business is peddling Astronaut Stolen Valor. My problem with them is not that they’re merely suborbital hops providing just a few minutes of zero G, or that they’re “joyrides for billionaires” or any of the other criticisms usually thrown at them. My problem is all the language they inappropriately use, like referring to their PASSENGERS as “astronauts” or collectively as a “crew”, and referring to their 5-minute joyrides as “missions”. This is delusional ego-stroking posturing in the extreme. It is cosplaying. The reason they insist on using the term astronaut is precisely because REAL astronauts are universally respected and admired, and are accorded elevated prestige and status, which real astronauts have EARNED. These tourist companies are essentially using a definitional “loophole” to be able to pin stupid trinkets on paying customers of their expensive joyrides and publicly declare them to be “astronauts”. It’s obnoxious. It’s an insult to real astronauts.

🤔....I'm not sure tourism is really the goal here. That they are offering transport to ISS makes me think this offering is really intended for commercial and State passengers more than tourist. I mean there are various Nation States who are eligible to fly on a Crew Dragon, but do not have manned spaceflight capability themselves. Those States may see a 55ish million a seat ticket to LEO or ISS as a very good deal to get their Astronauts in space. Currently if a country who wants to go to ISS has to join a NASA crew. That has a huge set of commitments and cost attached to it and your participation will always be a low priority to NASA. Moreover whatever you want to do will have fit in NASA's priorities and will need their approval. If instead Companies and States book passage with SpaceX for what is officially a private commercial mission they can cutout a lot of red tape, commitments and cost. If the Mission doesn't involve ISS there is no reason for NASA to be involved at all. This again could make Crew Dragon very attractive to Commercial and State customers wanting to conduct manned activity in LEO.

I love my IFT3 shirt, and I listened to the ad!

Hmm... sounds like a GoFundMe or Kickstarter is in order so you can beat Tim (Everyday Astronaut) to space 😅

Virgin needs to step up their game

Ellie .... for SpaceX Tourism, I can see SpaceX re-installing the other 3 or 4 seats, that NASA reused to allow for CCM (Commercial Crew Mission) flights. SpaceX can modify Dragon for (1) 90 minute trip around Earth, then do a return splashdown off the Florida Coast or Hawaii or San Diego (a 2-for-1 deal). For a Commercial Tourism flight with Starship, SpaceX can begin with a passenger complement of 7, that work it up to more.

You didn't mention that Vast Space announced that their Haven-1 commercial lab will be launching on Falcon 9 late 2025 and will be serviced with the Dragon. So by early b2026 you might have a new destination in LEO

Ellie, the time will come when most of us will be able to fly with SpaceX.

Even Elon Musk cannot afford it! Musk not be paid in his Tesla employment since 2018!😂

We will see Ellie in Space 🙂 In a starship! Go Ellie, Elon & thanks to Eric Best wishes to you all

13:33 social credit score is a thing! lol

Thanks, Ellie!

For the price you're paying they let you keep the space suit. So that's why I think that for the common people a colab between the 3D-model rocket company and Ellie in Space to make a 3D printed SpaceX helmet and an Ellie in Space suit that looks a lot like a SpaceX IVA suit with a USA flag patch on one shoulder and a Ellie In Space patch on the other shoulder (but in reality is just a hoodie with sweat pants) would be interesting merch. Matching gloves would be harder to pull of, but yeah

Did I saw Sarah Gillis in this Clip,working for blue origin ,I didn't know this.

SpaceX is using airline pricing. Want a seat, how much money do you have? If SpaceX has seats available and someone has too much money, they should get together.

Too Expensive. Start back at Saturn 5 It's Cheaper

It'll be interesting to see how much demand there will be for private SpaceX Dragon missions either to LEO or to the ISS. Not only is the estimated $50m plus price tag a big ask for most people, there's a significant commitment to be made for all the training that would be required in advance.

Well, the lower the price comes down, the larger the market. If they get it down to 100 000 USD or 50 000 USD, there is going to be a much larger pool of people available than 4-500 000 USD.

🤑

No comparison between non-orbital and orbital flights (in my opinion). Edit: yes Ellie this was a good episode I enjoyed it and you did great research 👍🏻. That's why I keep coming back to your channel 🥰 apologize if my comment how about (no comparison) seemed negative. Actually you showed us that there is a pretty good comparison. 450 k versus 50 mil.

Does it disturb the ad revenue if I put the video speed on double?

So, are you starting a kickstarter to scrape together the money for a ticket? 😉

Ellie, you're the best !

I've just paid for a trip to Proxima Centauri .

Mobile phones (then cell phones) used to be only for the rich. Now cellphones are dirt cheap. When Starship is doing point-to-point flights, I expect tickets in the low thousands of dollars, rather then tens of millions. And when that happens, I will be one of those joyriders.

Funny, expecting a woman to be on time without a man there to help her out.

Love that you have a sense of humor Ellie, you rock!!!
