those are summary of two flights... unfortunately for safety reasons i think they haven't released audio yet..

but either way..

they have won the x-prize and virginmobile has put in an order for 5 5 person planes identical to those..

if the flights are around 2k i am taking that flight asap...

I actually wanted to enter that, I was seriously lacking on the development costs though.The team that won spent $30 million on the R&D.

That was provided by Paul Allen, to whom that's a drop in the bucket. Must be rough, money makes money.

NASA is already whining about safety concerns, so I wouldn't pay for your tickets quite yet.

Ya, i bet theres a lot of concerns with something like this.

NASA is just mad because they got into space at a tiny fraction of what it cost NASA to get into space.

tiny tiny tiny fraction..

suposedly they are saying costs involved are just under 5k / run..

and i meant to say that they ordered 5 of the 7 seaters + pilot...

Eric, call me !

All im going to say about nasa is a hammer does not cost 450 tax dollars nuff said

And USA didn't need to spend 2 1/2 million dollars to make a pen that works in the space..

they could have just used a pencil like russians did. less than 50c each..

yeah but wasting money is the american way ;). :bowdown:
