Virgin Galactic said that they expect the first consumer space flights to happen in the second quarter of 2023.

The whole space thing, there's space tourism, which is a stupid business mobile way. There's space exploration, which isn't space exploration at space execution. And then you have space hauling. It's just an entirely different game.
