To be clear it's not about "spacefaring" billionaires but about "spacing" billionaires aka dumping them out an airlock into space as seen in various "The Expanse" scenes.

That's for the second one though, for the [verb] [noun] combination. The "[adjective]" [noun] combination implies spacefaring or similar, doesn't it?

Yes, correct.
