I think some people see the headline and think that Branson and Bezos funded an entire rocket program just to get themselves into space. In reality, as others here noted, they are building a tourist business, and certainly in Bezos's mind, he is just using that tourist business as a way to finance his further space goals. I doubt any news would have been made had they just sent the crew of paying passengers without themselves on board for the first passenger-ed flight.

Hmm, maybe make a new category called "Carnival Ride" and put tandem under that. I kid. Tandem was always designed as a training tool, a way to get a student exposure to freefall in a very controlled way, and it has become a very popular way to introduce people to the sport before they go on to AFF or IAD. But it has also become a one-and-done thrill ride, even if the pilot is still called a TI (Tandem Instructor)

solo belly isn't a thing. any sub discipline has ways to be practiced alone. camera isn't other. camera can be a speciality of any discipline. tandem would be a sub-discipline of training, also including AFF

No Anchovies fun fact: at point in this weird track people are speaking in a foreign language. This is actually the backwards recorded phrase "It doesn't take a genius to know the difference between chickenshit and chicken salad". My buddy had that record and we verified that back in the day.

yes. basically a version of double jeopardy, which is news to me. Sounds like the court said if the announces that he won't prosecute you for a crime, and then you admit to it, you can't be prosecuted again...

poppy (on the theme I guess. I've been to Ypres too, stood with the Brits who came to listen to the Last Post and remember the war to end all wars)

I do. For my .02, I will share my experience, I had the opportunity to start jumping in college, but didn't have the money. I waited until I was 30, when I was in a good financial situation. I have been jumping for 18 years now. I don't regret waiting at all. Skydiving is a huge time and money suck, and usually at Uni you don't have the luxury of a lot of either.

bosom (aside: I took that pic outside Bastogne in 2019 as the region was preparing to remember the 75th anniversary of the battle. To see the gratitude of the people of W. Europe is humbling; to remember how Buddy and his mates came to their aid all those years ago)

I thought Purdue already had a skydiving club. https://www.boilerlink.purdue.edu/organization/sportparachuteclub
