Take Dennis Tito. His idea of a good time is to go for a ride in space. A guest of the Russian government aboard the International Space Station. He can afford it. But the poor guy no sooner arrived at his high playstation than Americans got on their high horse.
Space tourism is a waste of money, they complain.
Allowing Tito to pay his own way into space is an insult to our professional astronauts. He's an idiot. He'll just get in the way. Just think how many new textbooks could have been provided to kids in the ghetto with that money, blah, blah, blah. Worse yet, he's a traitor for giving his money to a former communist country.
