Current perceptions Space is space (i.e. suborbital vs. orbital) Space is dangerous Flight providers: “anyone can fly” Space is cool “No big deal” (i.e. it’s like a roller coaster) Survival of industry Safer, not safe Increased safety protects related industries (i.e. flight providers) Encourage, facilitate, and promote Suborbital Human Spaceflight Training IndustryTactics • Marketing • Better flight experience with training • Not safe to fly without training; not so unsafe to avoid flying • Still adventurous even with training • User flexibility • “Astronaut training” • Nothing can replace the experience of space • Governments don’t provide preparation for actual suborbital flight • Government training is inaccessible (i.e. foreign nationals, etc) • Tailored marketing (i.e. early adopter vs. early majority, thrill-seekers vs. Avg Joe, etc)
