LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A private space plane is set to shoot beyond Earth's atmosphere for the second time in a week on Monday in a
pioneering bid to win a $10 million prize and prove that space is open for business."

And, naively, all along I thought some of those
orbiting com sats were part of commercial business
enterprises.


Nah, it's not a real business until you can advertise on

Orbiting wealthy adventure seekers or flooding near space with
advertising?
