Cargo Flight

Passenger is a form of cargo that complains, but it's cargo.

The Blue Origin flights send up passengers, not crew.

The vehicle is a robot.

The people on board don't have a means to affect anything.

They're cargo.

Don't get me wrong, if I had the means to buy a ticket I'd be in line waiting for my turn to be on the manifest. 

But having the means and taking the flight grants me nothing.

It also does fuck-all to contribute to anything.

Which isn't bad.

Bezos gets to make some money.  Maybe...

But it's a sight seeing trip.  Like helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon.

It's not a vital contribution to Mankind.  It does not advance women's rights.  It does not suppress minority rights.

It simply is what it does.
