do want, but I probably won't have anywhere near the amount of money needed...

The Virgin Galactic one is going to cost $10,000 per ticket

so around £6000 for me

Believe it or not I started saving up for it a year back!

sorry to disappoint you but it is $200,000.

had an eye one this skylon plane for about a month maybe a bit longer now. bbc had an article on it saying that they recieved funding from esa a month or so ago. but I was under the impression it would be used for thing like building space stations, or for building ships to go to mars. guess once the tech is developed it wouldn't be to hard to switch to commercial uses.
