Space1 2018 Rocket Flight Time

ROCKET FLIGHT TIME
The new 2018 rocket is described in several posts, notably here for the initial specs:

In reviewing the specs and features with the new fuel, a discovery was made. The new rocket can provide a space journey for tourism lasting over 7 times longer compared to the older 2017 rocket. A number of advantages become obvious.

* Longer tourism journey
* Smoother more comfortable ride
* Less G-force
* Less blurring motion for CAM captures
* More visibility period of objects in window

This was a random test when the longer flight time was discovered. More tests are needed to determine if flight time can increase over 7X.
