As less-rigorous medical screening allows more tourists to reach space, the chances increase significantly that someone will get hurt or have a health emergency there. And if we survived those perils, wouldn’t escalating pressure in our skulls kill us after a week or so?

"I'm the first person they've ever talked to about it," the therapist told the LA Times. But by handling the layoffs the way it did, Headspace "just really screwed over their entire client base," the therapist told the Times. Thirty-three of those employees were therapists, a company spokesperson told Insider.
