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.

Are there some galactic hostesses involved and a chance to rub shoulders with the odd millionaire he can ingratiate himself with

I guess that makes you 'waitlisted' for 'weightlessness'? How confusing. You have to hope you don't get off-loaded for the return sector.

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!

"If you had the opportunity to play a free game of bingo coming directly to you from the spacecraft with the possibility to win prizes, how often would you visit the site?

Several times per day
Once per day
Once per week
Once per month"

also

"In addition to space bingo, if there were other spacecraft-related games you could play on a Website, how interested would you be in playing?
Very interested
Interested
Somewhat interested
Not interested"

Checked out the Virgin Galactic website, it looks fantastic!

Tone, i reckon your Shed pollutes a lot more than that does.

There are Luddites everywhere!
