Living the Future

The 21st century started kinda slow. Rocket backpacks for everybody, humanoid robots that can laugh at a joke and outposts on Mars seem to be all delayed for several more years until we get some of the details figured out.

But here is something that is so 21st century: Virgin Galactic

Yep, we now have our first airline for the space age (spaceline?)... and while I will probably have to wait for a little while until the price comes down (I've heard rumours of $200k for an early adopter flight), there's a good chance that I'll get to go to space before I retire.
