If space travel was as safe as flying and cost the same as an airplane ticket, would you do it?

STOP that Shatner image is amazing

Looks a lot like Moab Utah.. and it’s a lot closer than Jordan (only 2.5 hours for me)

Just as safe as a normal flight, comparably priced to one as well… What about the other aspects of the flight? Just as crowded? Just as large a carbon footprint? More intrusive TSA?

I dunno… If it’s exactly the same across the board at the very least it could open up new schedules and flight routes. Weather wouldn’t be as big of an issue mid-flight, since you’d be over it.

This is good enough for me

Just came to say that not only would this be cool, but would be the fastest point to point method of travel even if you were just using this method to fly to another city

@lioncow

… that Shatner image is amazing

Thank you for the props @lioncow . The image was modified from The Twilight zone episode “Nightmare at 20,000” still. The Woot Monkey head cut in MS Paint. Background removed in MS Word. Turned into gray scale. Sized for the torso and rotated. Not too bad for Boomer playing with MS Office to see what it can do?

Launch of the Generation Ship Nauvoo (repurposed as the Behemoth)

Nauvoo Launch Scene | The Expanse

One of the most impressive CGI sequences in the hard Sci-Fi show, The Expanse. The detail down to robotic tugboats, flight trajectory, and melting scaffolding Is probably not seen in any other sci-fi series.

It was very good! To be honest I thought it was made with AI, it looked that clean - so even more impressive you used MS Office!
