If Virgin Galactic succeeds, I just hope that they can get their price point right so that they can have business beyond the first people. Maybe they really can keep operational costs down.

As far as Blackswift, that would be really cool if they could make a satellite launcher for 750 million. I cant wait to learn more about it.
RE Shorty Barlow...the link to Virgin Galactic introduces Galactic Girl...I guess she's like the front of a Rolls Royce, or a ship's figurehead, but...c'mon guys...is that the best ya can do?
Barbie Bubblehead in Space...
Could they build the space craft and use an existing aircraft to launch from? This would save time and money to see if the space craft works.
Alan,

Thanks for the link!
