So what is the significance of it being redone relatively cheaply by garage
level tinkerers and builders?


It becomes available.

What is the significance of spam cans costing seventeen thousand dollars an
hour?

For whatever your imagination can think of. Since you can't think of anything,
we'll leave it to others.

None. This is significant. What if they did, and other aircraft were so
similarly expensive?

Obviously, you can't think of anything either. I knew you were just blowing
smoke.

Then things would be different than they are.

No, I can't see the future. My own imagination is less than what it might be.
However, I =do= recognize that there are significant things that I can't think
of that may well come from this, because civilian suborbital flight is a
significant milestone.

That I can't think of something doesn't mean it's not there.


What if [spam cans cost beacoup dollars per hour to fly], and other aircraft

were so
similarly expensive?


Then things would be different than they are.


Indeed. Significantly different. Earthshakingly different.

I posit that things will be earthsakingly different if suborbital flight is
inexpensive too. I don't know in what manner, but that is ok. I'm still sure
that, as you echoed above, " things would be different than they are".

Why is civilian suborbital flight a significant milestone?

That question was answered earlier in the thread.

And by the way, "ensure" means to make certain. "insure" means to (promise to)
make reparations, and "assure" means to make confident.
