Move over Virgin Galactic, here comes Space Adventures. OK, there are more than two firms trying to be the first commercial space tourism firms to actually put tourists into space on their own equipment (a few people have flown on Russian government flights). Good luck gentlemen. The question is if you can get enough people to pay a million dollars to have a suborbital fight that it will fund the development and develop the confidence so that you can offer orbital flight for $100,000.

I have to laud Richard Branson for taking space flight to the next level – private flights. I wish him success. But I have to laugh at the name – Virgin Galactic, no, not the Virgin part, the Galactic part. Truth in advertising would have the new firm called Virgin Sub-Orbital, but I guess that doesn’t have the same ring to it as Galactic.
