Nasa has been plagued with a bunch of failures. Meanwhile an amateur low budget project has successfully flown Spaceshipone into space and safely landed back on ground. They won 10million dollars for doing this.

The truth is in the details.........
they must fly agin within 2 weeks to get the money
they only went a few thousand feet past the minimum.
Still it's very impressive
I think this was the second time they did it, the first one was a test flight but it wasn't within 2 weeks. I have faith they can do it.
I've also heard that Virgin airlines will charge people $200,000 to fly into space.
They will have a two day training course... you'll only be "weight less" for 4 [yes FOUR] minutes.
I don't think that's worth my $200k
What will he do next?
I heard about Virgin, too. I also heard that there is talk of having a permanent hotel in space.
But $200k for 4 minutes of weightlessness....that hurts.
What will he do next?

Congratulations they have won the 10 Million this morning.
Sweet! That means a lot to NASA and the general public.
Drives the cost of space flight down by 1000x fold!
Good job to them! *hat goes off*

No one points out that the Plane took 30 million to make.

You mean like the $264 million dollar Genisis craft that crashed in the desert? Yes Nasa wastes money.

Lol, good to see your desire for them is still there despite the amount of failures and little accomplishments they have made, still cool to smaller orginisations are making big impacts.

I've always been pro NASA, with out them we'd... I don't know what would be good if we didn't have them?
Who knows.

My selfish motto is "If it is not going to happen in my lifetime then I do not care". One reason why I do not recycle. The other reason is once I dropped a beer bottle on my foot- Which shattered -when I was carrying out my recycling container.

With that being said, it brings to question how far the MMORPG EVE ONLINE is from Reality?

I think everything's going to have to go through NASA first.
Can you picture Microsoft and outer space?

Didn't you know they already have to do that just to get their coffee in the morning?
Come to think of it...
so do I!
