Virgin Galactic Rocket

Quote from the company.

As Virgin Galactic gets ever closer to the start of commercial operations, we are reaching and passing many important and historic milestones. The Virgin MotherShip (VMS) Eve, the first of our amazing, all carbon
composite, high altitude WhiteKnightTwo launch vehicles, is flying superbly. SpaceShipTwo, which will air launch from Eve, is largely constructed and awaiting the start of its own test flight programme later this year.

What does it all mean? Soon I will be able to buy my way into space and get off of this rock, just like they promised 40 years ago when we first landed on the moon. Now if we can get more rich smart people involved we could get there faster. I want my space vacation and my space ships sooner rather than later. WHY haven’t we landed on Mars yet? Why haven’t we colonized the moon? And what will it take to have a space station Hotel? This may be the best answer for now, but until we get more stuff going it is the ONLY comercial solution that works. More power to them!
