Hey Dutchy,

Cool news, but that's a commercial venture, not a replacement for the shuttle. Branson's spaceship is kind of like the old X-15 rocket plane, only slower, and take passengers. It doesn't really achieve full orbit, and only stays aloft for a few minutes of zero g fun and pictures out the window, then comes gliding back down to land. I sounds like a lot of fun, but too rich for my limited budget.

One would hope that \"Space Ship 3\" will be even better.
