The eventual purpose of the project is space tourism. My guess is that
it is easier to fully contain the vehicle than to teach every tourist
with $30k how to operate a pressure suit, not to mention classier.

Not to mention... inflating a cabin is not new science to this
particular batch of engineers.


While we're at it, I'm curious why they chose to pressurize the cabin rather
than put the pilot into a pressure suit. From my position of pure
ignorance, it would seem that a pressure suit would make for simpler
engineering of the vehicle.
