The global middle class(about 2 billion people) can afford to fly in an airplane once in a while, something only the rich could do 100 years ago. That's worth appreciating. Technology has never advanced symmetrically for everyone and it likely never will. The only recent tech I can think of that reached everyone rich and poor alike near simultaneously is smart phones.
Almost every major hard-tech innovation was once prohibitively expensive. Look at solar panels, cars, phones, computers, etc. The cost comes (way) down later on with economies of scale and perfection of the production process.
get over yourself. you think it’s going to be $250k in 10 years and the billions of people on the planet will not see benefit from the tech advances that come from that?
The Concorde was inflation adjusted $12,900 round trip and failed miserably.
It feels like every 10 years we bail out airlines when we hit a bad recession.
I would really question how much of a business model there will be for this at this price point once you don't make a headline by just taking a flight on it.
Try looking down sometime, at the billions of people who need better things than space travel.
