OK, I hear what you are saying. It was just my initial reaction to the story and it was not meant to be political.
I do think that if or when space travel becomes more common, this is how it will happen as it will take private enterprise to make it cost effective.
Aslo, if you know anything about Branson, he seems to be a big believer in Peak Oil. I saw him interviewed on CNBC. He was asked what he thought was the biggest economic threat in the future and he said declining oil production. He has been setting up bio-diesel plants to produce fuel for Virgin`s jets.
Doesn`t it make you wonder when powerful people who are in the highest circles (Bilderberger and such) start doing these thing.
Sorry, I have gotten way off topic, cool plane
