Crouch unveiled a preliminary set of suborbital findings from their research. Among them:
The opportunity to float in zero-g was significantly preferred compared to being strapped in a seat
Less extensive launch vehicle training was significantly preferred
Highly educated individuals exhibited significantly less interest in suborbital space travel
"The big problem with suborbital is from a customer experience perspective," Crouch advised. Pop-up travel to the fringes of space, then head for home gives a customer five or six minutes of zero-g.
"It will be very interesting to see the customer reaction to such a short experience," Crouch observed. Nevertheless, there's enjoyment in preparing for the event. "And a suborbital space tourist will have great party stories to tell for many years to come...so the experience will certainly linger for a long time."
