True, but I don't think BFR is ever meant for the masses. And airplanes, which are gentle but can be uncomfortable, are barely for the masses (in 2015 only 45% of Americans flew on a plane).

...only? that's a first world problem if i've ever seen one :)
haha well I meant only 45% of the population isn't really "the masses"
I'd argue that it is, that's almost half the total population and an even larger percentage of working age adults.
How many of that 45% took a first class or business class international flight?
