Reply to comment by Sunflower_After_Dark in Now that commercial space flight is in the works, if you had the money, would you go? by Ariolet

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.
