Discovery is way worth the Paramount+ money, if you opt with some commercials I think it is $5.99 a month.
Amazon Vid I think has the 1st episode of Discovery and Picard for free (they did last month anyway) and if not you could buy the 1st episodes there also to see if it's worth pony'ing up the $ for Paramount+
Plus you get "Lower Decks" which is also great fun.
Picard is good too, you get to see a lot of STNG and Voyager cast members in their same roles.
But Discovery is awesome i think. But the 1st episode or two are little bumpy, it gets better as it goes.
(and in later episodes you will find out why their spore drive has not been heard of)

I am curious, is your objection limited to space tourism or to private space flight in general?

LOL! Your physics professor sounds quite entertaining, too - though B.F. Skinner didn't go that far!
