Here’s the thing about all this space talk: it’s not really about the money. It’s about hope. Katy Perry’s flight, whether she paid with cash or cachet, proves that the sky is no longer the limit. It’s just the beginning.
You don’t need a half-million-dollar ticket to feel that wonder. You can look up tonight, see a star, and remember that you are part of this crazy, beautiful universe. Katy’s just getting a better view.
And hey, if she sings "Roar" while orbiting Earth? That’s priceless. So go ahead, dream big—and don’t worry about the price tag. The real journey is the smile on your face when you realize the galaxy is open for business.
Now, go hug a rocket scientist. Or just hug a friend. Space is for everyone.
