I have an idea for cheaper space flight with better safety.
Even though you go to the space in spaceship, you only see one side and less gravity. Its possible to simulate the gravity as you go up from troposphere, to stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and etc with closed vacuum like a room. It's totally possible to simulate graphics with VR and gravity in parallel so that people feel it totally. It's safer too. There is no gaurantee that all flight will be successful. It's almost the same experience except for the fact that idea of you no being on the space may bother you and you won't be famous and people will call you only VR astronaut. It may cost 10$ for 20 minutes. What do you think? TC: 600k
Agree
Nah we want this experience sitting on the couch.. also not entering any vacuum room.
How do you plan to simulate 0 gravity? Being in a vacuum has nothing to do with gravity. Also there are flights you can take which do free fall to simulate 0g Also, I own a VR headset, it is not close to real life yet
Yeah but like who wants to buy the cheap knockoff if you've got the money for the real thing?
Btw they already have something like this; stephen hawking did it years ago

Good idea. But the no gravity simulation is the key and wont cut for $10 for 20 mins.
No, you have to add a small probability of explosion to be real
I thought space elevators were the agreed upon next best way to get into space?
Pretty sure this ends up being insanely cheaper than even reusing rockets https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_elevator. If I’m wrong someone correct me.
I guess strong enough tether materials are the blocker here for use on earth.
Like saying VR sex is "almost the same experience" as real sex.
Yeah, good anology. The point is you come off and will be done with it.
Not quite bro. At least for sex, it's all about the touch and physical contact. Here for space travel, you just sit in and see what's out there. You can't even go out and see things. For sure VR satisfies this curiously more for space travel. Of course if you can afford it, get the real deal
