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).

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?
