What I read:

I agree that was a funny idea, but the actual physics behind the flight as I understood it means he would've come down quickly one way or another.

What will they think of next ...

O yea.
Single round trip around the moon. Sign up here.

So now those (less then 5 minutes) space hoppers can call themself astronauts.
Not sure that will do the title "astronaut" any good.

They're "passengers" not astronauts imo

Flying in an airplane doesn't make you a pilot

"Pilot": Has some part about actually controlling an airplane. There is no such thing attached to the general definition of "Astronaut".

lol. Seem Wikipedia already tries to cover this. "Commercial astronaut".

Seems the US-FAA is also working on this, but they seem to make a spaghetti-mess of it.
