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.
