Space warriors? Ugh.... I suppose this crew concept got attention for Inspiration 4, presumably he'll think it'll help him flog some scam nonsense.

wow, scam artist running the next flight? Maybe he can make some NFTs of his tweets about this and sell them too...

I am kind of wondering if he was kindly asked to excuse himself from the first flight as not very good PR and was rewarded with six seats on a subsequent one.

$28 million? Does he realize he's only doing sub orbital, 3 minutes of zero G?

He won an auction for lunch with Warren Buffett for about $4.6 million in 2019. So…

This will be the first time a Chinese citizen will fly to space on a non-Chinese spacecraft and rocket correct?

I believe that is correct. JPL payload specialist Taylor Wang was born in China, but he became a US citizen years before he flew on STS 51-B.
