71509, RE: £100,000 to go on a "Virgin Galactic" spaceliner Posted by KJT, Mon Sep-27-04 02:37 PM
Thanks for the link. I had read about it in Time or Newsweek or elsewhere earlier in the year.
Still, it's a private venture. I was just nitpicking the use of the word "privately" in the article: "The California-based rocket plane became the first privately developed carrier to go above 100km in June.
As far as I know there is no "publicly developed" US carrier that does scheduled flights above 100km, at least not for paying customers.
Jim.
