This shouldn't be labeled or sold as space tourism. One of the main reasons I'd like to go to space is to experience micro-gravity.
Yes of course I would love to see earth from so high up off the surface. I would spend most of my time staring out the window looking back at earth but I still want the experience of feeling weightless.
I'll wait until we have that space elevator.

We'll have one by the time this article gets to the goddamn point.

There’s nothing “micro” about the gravity. It’s nearly the same gravity as on the surface of earth.
It’s either zero g (no gravity) or free fall depending on your perspective.

Yes I realize it's almost identical amount of gravity as the surface of the earth but it's also commonly referenced as micro-gravity in this context. Hence why I used the term. But thank you for your input.
