Default Space Ship 1

The historic flight of Space Ship 1, the first private sector launch
of a suborbital space vehicle is currently in progress over Mojave,
California and being covered live on some cable channels.

This Paul Allen backed venture may herald the replacement of the NASA
Space Scuttle!

This is a manned flight!

But there is a factor 10 more speed needed to get to orbit.


Some people are just never satisfied. Give them time.

Nice joyride, but won't stand the stress of standard orbit I'm afraid.

And a factor 10^2 more money...

A factor 10^3 more time ;-)

I agree....at what enormous cost? A factor of 1000 more?
