Space Tourism

from The Bag Tag

🏕️ Harmonicas, Finch, and National Park (01:31)Wyatt finally gets his harmonica and, has his first assignment. Chantel introduces us to Finch, her traveling virtual bird (yes, we’re all emotionally invested now). We’ll save the Vegas unpacking for next week because today we’re blasting off into space tourism—from billionaire joyrides to balloon cruises. Oh—and did we mention it’s National Park Week? Let’s get wild(erness). ​​💺 Seat Pocket: Build-Your-Own Space Crew (12:12)Blue Origin just launched a stacked female passenger list, so naturally we’re asking: Who would you take to space?Chantel’s got a controversial lineup (yes, Sigourney Weaver is involved), Wyatt’s leaning heavily into Marvel, and let’s just say... tensions rise when it’s time to pick each other. It’s like fantasy football, but in zero gravity. 🛄Tag the Terminal: Round 5 Chantel (21:13)Chantel takes the first crack at this round of Tag the Terminal with a city full of stars, oil, and queen energy (👑👀). Will she widen the gap in this airport-guessing game or spiral into orbit? The clues are cryptic, the stakes are high, and the drama? Immaculate. 🌌 Space Tourism: Flights & Hotels (32:09)We’re going full throttle into the wild world of space tourism:Blue Origin: Fully autonomous rocket rides with parachute landings.Virgin Galactic: Branson’s glitzy 90-minute joyrides from New Mexico, complete with weightlessness and a $450K price tag.Space Perspective: Space... by balloon? With a bar? And a bathroom? It’s luxury “space glamping” at 100,000 feet.Space Hotels: Orbital Assembly and Vast are building floating resorts—some with gravity, some without. We’re talking maple interiors, inflatable duvets, and space basketball. It’s like a Marriott in the Milky Way. Is space the new weekend getaway? We unpack the tech, the price tags, the vibes—and yes, who’s already booking weddings in orbit. 🌍What in the World: Hawaii’s Name Change (66:51)The Big Island might finally get its name back—just “Hawai‘i,” no extra labels. We unpack the identity, the proposal, and why this small name change is a big deal for Native Hawaiians. Chantel gets personal (10 years living there!), Wyatt’s shocked, and we all learn something that makes us a little more grounded—before we float off again. 🎧 So buckle up—this episode’s got harmonicas, space hotels, and a possible showdown over Beyoncé's hometown. You don’t want to miss it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
