I'm going to approach this from the perspective of someone playing Kerbal Space Program. Early on in the career mode, you need money to build new rockets, gather science, and develop new designs that take you further into space. Without early on tourists, you're sunk. They provide a lot of the hype and money so you can research/get to that next phase.
Real life is different, I get it. I doubt these celebrities paid much if anything. It's just rich people doing rich people stuff.
Play Kerbal Space Program Realism Overhaul if you want a ... much closer to 'real' taste of how much more complicated and difficult an orbital flight is than a subortial flight, a lunar flight is than an orbital flight, an extraplanetary flight is than a lunar flight.
I'm not sure if it is still the unofficial motto of the mod... but it used to be 'if you cannot figure out how to install this mod, you will not be capable of playing it anyway', or something to that effect.
That sounds like a time sink but I may give it a try lol
... Hopefully the setup process is a bit more streamlined now, lol.
Also, this is KSP 1.
KSP 2 kinda... failed to launch, you might say.
Also... I haven't messed with the Realism Overhaul in a few years, but uh... you're gonna need a fairly poweful machine.
God speed, try not to instantly kill Jeb lol.
