'Amateur Astronauts' or 'Environmental Criminals'?

News that an all-civilian crew have been rocketed into space, aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9, is being hailed as the next phase of 'Space tourism' (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/sep/15/spacex-rocket-to-take-off-with-worlds-first-all-civilian-crew). The diverse (but selectively photogenic) four person 'crew', are completely redundant. The rocket's entire operation is regulated from the ground by the Kennedy Space Center. This is, in many ways, a totally self-indulgent exercise, adding enormously to 'greenhouse gas' emissions. The project was given the marketing label 'Inspiration4-all'. A more accurate label might be 'Attract rich bucket listers, whilst speeding destruction of the planet'!
