Default SpaceShipOne Flies Again!

Mike Melvill flew SpaceShipOne again this morning to the edge of
space.

This Paul Allen backed endeavor is considering running commercial
flights into space in the future. A ticket will cost you $200,000.00.
This may seem a lot, but is really a bargain compared to the
$20,000,000.00 the Russians charge a paying space passenger.

Who knows, maybe Paul Allen will get us back to the Moon before NASA.
The Moon could be a tourist destination for the high-end customers.
