Weird title
editI know this is a draft but I must admit the title of this draft is a little odd. When you say space traveller do you mean astronaut?CycoMa (talk) 05:07, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- No. It says spacetraveller, because they are space travellers. "Astronaut" is a qualified term that requires explanation. The FAA certifies certain groups of spacetravellers as astronauts and not others. There are like conditions in other systems of determination, where if one is not a professional spaceworker who works in space, they would not be an "astronaut". Similarly, there are political considerations, where people not launched on a U.S. vehicle are not in consideration for being astronauts. If they are launched on a Soviet or Russian vehicle they would instead be considered for being cosmonauts, etc. There are also technical considerations on whether suborbitalists are "astronaut" under some systems of consideration. -- 64.229.90.53 (talk) 05:46, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Just looking at the list article List of astronauts by name, is restricted to only spaceworkers who work in space. -- 64.229.90.53 (talk) 19:30, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Billionnaires
editI doubt that Eytan Stibbe or John Shoffner are billionaires (rich, yes, billionaires, maybe not). Is there a source for this ? Hektor (talk) 08:51, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- They are already properly sourced. Just check the included references. The references say they are billionaires. Stibbe is part of an investment firm, so certainly is plausible that he's a billionaire. Shoffner invested in the fibre optic backbone, so is also plausible. -- 64.229.90.53 (talk) 02:15, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
Why only billionaires?
editWhy not list anyone who paid to go into space? Dream Focus 19:22, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Dream Focus:, it would just replicate it. Erick Soares3 (talk) 12:42, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
