I am appalled that our government is allowing these completely fruitless joy rides to further poison the planet, so to answer the question…no, not even if I had the money.

If you've ever travelled for frivolous reasons - vacation, sight-seeing, etc. - you have no room to complain. For much of the world's population, even that is an extravagance, and by your logic they'd have every right to be appalled at you.

Minimizing a space rocket’s pollution to that of a car ride, is a laughable comparison.

It seems you think you get to set the threshold of appalling, and those poorer than you who think you're a wasteful polluter by their meager measures are laughable. You even expect the government to enforce your opinion, no doubt with your car ride being within bounds.

That’s true to a point. I see the pollution associated with space exploration as a necessary evil. Billionaire joyrides, not so much.
