06. What is the luggage and cargo capacity? Will there be enough space on the ships for all the supplies we will need for our stay in space? (A K2S Question)

The first sub-orbital spaceships will not have much need or room for luggage or supplies as the trips are quite short and return straight back to Earth. Passengers will be able to have cameras and probably a few small mementos that they can say have been to space! In the future, orbital spaceships will need to have room for supplies and luggage and this will be a design consideration.
