Yes, damn those people that spend $200,000 on a ticket to space and have no money left to feed their family! Wait, no, damn Virgin Galactic for offering something several hundred people are willing to pay $200,000 for... No wait...
It's not like Branson is going to pile that $60M up in NM and set it on fire.
