quick question, is that the same Steve Johnson that hit the mast in Shoreham harbour and then banged out?

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:cool:

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!
