This started when two space flight companies, Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic and Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin, went head-to-head after each billionaire announced in turn that they would be heading into space on their respective companies’ first flights carrying recreational passengers. Both Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin are getting into the space tourism space. Anyone paying up for a space flight will get right to the edge of space, far enough above our home to see it as a planet in space, which, to be honest, is super cool. If only the world had some way to take even a small percentage of money from these giant corporations.... Oh wait, we do. They’re rich individuals whose fortunes are well earned, and they can do what they want with their money.
