Link to Yahoo posting of article.
In case you hadn't heard about this, the first commercial space flight happened (they didn't orbit, but they did break the atmosphere and hit zero G). So I guess we are heading to that future of corporate controlled colonies on the moon and Mars...

I think it would be great to start having more space flights; maybe when we have colonies on the moon and mars, the 'space' fare will be cheaper [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Funny how that person from the FAA said that "space is now within reach of the ordinary citizen." Last time I looked, Paul Allen was no ordinary citizen; for one thing, he's got at least twenty billion dollars more than the ordinary citizen will see in her/his lifetime.

They should give everyone in the world one free space flight
Because I don't think it's very fair that only the people with lots of money get to go on the space flights.
