Is space tourism a waste of money?

IN my opinion no! it cost 14 MILLION! per person for two weeks i love astronomy and id love to try space travel one day so if you have the money go for it!

1st Spending money to send anyone into space is foolish as that money could be spent on Earth to improve the environment and living conditions of millions of starving poor.

2nd Space tourism is a necessary step in the progress of space flight and eventual colonization of the solar system.

Only through commercial ventures and the innovation this brings will this colonization be possible

The colonization of space is needed to protect the Human race from extinction.
