Good article in this month's Aerospace magazine from the Royal Aero Society. If you can find a copy Tonethe Wone you might find it very interesting.

The RAS Conference was well attended and the highlight was a presentation by Brian Binnie (2nd pilot of SpaceShip1).

Alex Tai is definately heading up the flight crew side.

Once Virgin Galactic extend ops to orbit - maybe space tourists can visit inflatable spacestations as proposed by Bigelow Aerospace of Las Vegas.

Their market research questionnaire is intriguing!

Checked out the Virgin Galactic website, it looks fantastic!
