(Kim Min-je, The Space Tourism Era Has Begun... What About the Carbon Emissions?) By using a tumbler all year round, avoiding disposables, and cutting back on electricity use—with enormous effort, and enduring plenty of side-eyes and nagging along the way—you might reduce about 1 ton of carbon a year. But a single flight casually cancels out (?) all of that effort. Is space tourism something we can even justify?
