Does anyone else want to go to space with Virgin Galactic? Or would that be too much like supporting Virgin America? I personally can't wait.

Isn't it around $60,000 for a ride on that thing? Would be cool but I'm happy farting around in the troposhpere. :D

$200,000 currently. Should be no problem on first year regional FO pay.

I figure they will lose one in the first five launches. After an investigation they will resume and lose another shortly thereafter. That will be the end of civilian space travel for a great while.

You heard it here first.

I tend to think along the same lines, mike. Not only is it an outrageous price but risky as well. If it doesn't happen in the first 5 launches, it may happen within the first year at least.

Wasn't there some big explosion on an airfield in New Mexico a few days ago? Anyone know more about that?

I think that was in California.
