Gallery: Sizing Up the Private Race to Space

Space is nice. However, I rather have it done from tax money and at the rate we can afford it, then by someone making over a billion dollars by squeezing passengers into airplanes, like sardines.

I will not go into space, but I would like to visit my mother more often and not feeling utter hatred for all airlines for torturing me on the way there and back and charging for incidentals, luggages and whatnot, instead of just honestly tell everyone the price of an inclusive ticket.

When space travel becomes as common as flying to various cities, the same thing will happen, after the novelty wears out.

HA.......commercial space flights are for rich fat white dudes and singing monkeys.

Sometimes...I wish I was a billionaire

Every advancement regardless of source helps everyone in the long run. These virgin trips will push others and bring innovation in related areas, materials, design, whatever. So even if it seems like the rich are having the fun, they are helping to keep these entities alive and innovating.

i agree with kim...
once we can achieve something, the only thing left is to update, upgrade, and make something more efficent

yeah, i don't have a billion or few dollars...but Mr. Gates might like to go out and have some fun ...right?

We are all waiting on NASA to free up the already charted universal airspace so we can all travel for a small price. The average human can't afford $400 round trip ticket. Needless to say a $200,000 space ticket on an airline for a 3 day trip to outer space!!! It's one thing to be privatized and another to be governed! One thing to use old technology and another to use old! I am as pour as a rich man waiting to build a shuttle!!

The race to space seems like a dream that has existed since the dawn of time and now that we are technologically advanced it seems like a night mare.

Anyway, Lets hope not only noted digniteries get the oppoortunity to travel outside our globe.
