Cuanto costaria un paseo asi

[Mufaso1000]

As long as government, any government, controls space, this will not become a reality. The bastards will prevent private space travel from jeopardizing their monopoly.

[odcs2010]

this is just a video game, i cant take this serious.

[ICEGTN]

I think the biggest problem are the death-rays from the sun. And the music.

[miguelmouta]

Earth is bursting in overcrowding ,drugadiction, pollution ,crime, food technology dependence and you keep wondering a dream of a jennie. Gay child deliriium.

[browntuka]

Just curious.. So does anyone know if "Space" has a destination code?? for eg: LHR-LAX (London Heathrow-Los Angeles....) By the way this plane better hurry up,cause I read somehere on the net that Aliens were going to attack earth this year!!! I DIDNT SAY IT MYSELF... You have a look at the link below and mock those who said it lol..

[Mi37591]

Right when the Rocket Kicks in and takes off, with the Music thumping,

why do I feel like Jacking OFF?

[skydreamerXIII]

the begining reminds me of the Star Ocean 3 opening

[johnson1095]

This music was used on "From the Earth to the Moon"!!!

[roroapollo]

Nice vid but will it work? Is this just another flight of fantasy?

[shadowblade145]

The first theme was great but the one after that was kinda disturbing...

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

I have some question about psychology:

(1) Why do we love aspace travel?

(2) Why do we enjoy to design and to build new space craft?

(3) Why do we like to be "space tourist" for space holiday?

(4) What will be the most desirable design space craft in the coming future that will fit our life-style?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

[1978cookiemonster]

Do you accept cash??

[starsoffyre]

lol it was off-center when it took off =.=

[Hansen915]

love the beggining

[aguadan]

stupid waist of time dont watch this video

[aguadan]

stupid waist of time dont watch this video

[mino5mino]

Who wrote the first sound track to this video?

James Horner?

Thanks!

[csfreak89]

does this plane really work?

[SEL9000]

The design of the plane was changed in 2007, you will find also another video at our YouTube Presentation. It will work. Why not?

[predatortheme]

@SEL9000 Can i ask you who you are?

are you an actual Aircraft Designer? or aerospace engineer?

[Leondorado76]

La tecnologia EEUU es excelente...

[SUPAHOUSEPRODUCSHAN]

Cool video...music is a bit dramatical but anyway, my point is... wheres the nazi flying discs: where is the anti gravity propulsion, where is all the The NEW technology that tax payers have funded and that every citizen is at least entitled to know about its missing in this video.

Nasa what SECRECY...obscuring the evolution of humans and monopolising space exploration as they do with everything.

[mysweeteventhorizon]

No offense but here goes.

When I ran across your site while searching for MIG rides I was curious.

But after watching this video i am left with the impression of complete amateur youthful fantasy.

The soundtrack would work well with some hedonistic 70's disco dance/porn flic....

A suggestion: clean up the video and deal with technical , logistical and administrative info.

As an example look up "James May U2 BBC" here on Youtube......now this is a serious video..try to imitate it

[SEL9000]

Hello, thanks for your constructive critics, but this is the old video from Rocketplane Global from 2004. There is also a newer one here on YouTube with the new design. And also, we made MIG-25 Edge of Space flights for customers more earlier as the flight with the U2 was possible. There are two very special videos of this flights here, have a look and enjoy. And on our webside there are more informations of the Rocketplane as Rocketplanse by themself are presenting. :)

Best, SEL

[planefreak3]

i like the V tail's

[planefreak3]

what version of X-plane?

[pacificguitarist]

don't you know anything about space ship one?

[TheKansan52]

So this is where the millions went.

This was such a great idea that was so mismanaged,

At least the Oklahoma Space Port came out of this attempt.

[badb0y1300]

lol its 95,000 USD a passenger thats hella expensive i was exspecting like 5000 USD

[SEL9000]

No. Price is 250.000 USD. What you are expecting? The suborbital space race is up to the beginning, and remember the costs of the first flight tickets via airplane across the Atlantic Ocean. Companies who are building such planes are doing it with private money.

Price will be more low in 2014/15 - around 25.000 then. Regards, SEL

[badb0y1300]

250,000 ? or $250.00 dollar?

[TheMacpad]

@SEL9000 in germany it costs also 200 000 € or something like that. I want to do this !!! think its beautiful

[splortz]

Do they own the license for that music?

[r2144]

Yeah..That was mean...You big old meanie

[mrmaciejm]

We are going to space and nothing can stop us now.

[HipsterLiciouss]

@mrmaciejm obama did.

[SNB222]

wow woud not want to be hi jacked on that plane lol

[NearSpace01]

Won't you have to go 17,500 MPH to reach orbital velocity and get into orbit?

[subach]

This is sub-orbital.

[skunkfan123]

i have call space travellers in germany the price ist 210000euro=324748$

[rahmanroni]

Sinci when did you tube become a promo center? I thought this was going to be some sort of educational video. I wish people would stop floding you tube with advertisement!!!!!!

[BLEACH01Z]

crashman2 is a asshole

[ogicabp4u]

Anyone heard of the starfighter project?? The concept of a rocket plane isnt new...its nearly 30 years old!!! It uses two rockets which also double up as Jet Engines and has a Computer Controlled Gyroscopic Stablizer so that when you reenter the atmosphere it handles very similarly to when its in low level orbit. COOL! Only They managed to get around the problem of re-entry but the only problem is when inside the atomosphere they cant land the thing or take off...has to be docked with a ship.

[dreamerosity]

It's not going to work, there are no space stations that have docking pads. And if there it couldn't get back into the atmosphere, it would burn up instantly.

[SIP100]

60,000 ft can be reach by balloon (and passed up) and with the right cabin fitted you could stay there for hours. Really I realize that your trying to offer something to the low end market, but either go at least to low orbit or go home. Just seeing dark sky and earths curvature isn't enough, this is lame.

[Crashman2]

This film is simply brilliant. Welcome to the future! And Space-tourism rocketplanes like this one will bring ticket prices down from where they are now, well into the reach of people who are NOT millionaires... if you want to REALLY FLY badly enough.

All lights are GO for this Rocketplane project, the XCOR LYNX, the EADS Astrium rocketplane, and of course the not-so-Virgin-anymore SpaceShip Two project that Burt Rutan and Richard Branson are selling tickets for NOW! 3-2-1 LIGHT OFF!

[HLuna52180]

Lame.

[spark300c]

cool that was actuarial prototype. NASA is so behind in space tech

[vash1963]

Hope that dodgy tail fin at the end is a bit more secure when it takes off!

[vfrickey]

"Hope that dodgy tail fin at the end is a bit more secure when it takes off!"

By the time they get to commercial flights (lofting passengers) it'll have to be. FAA's Commercial Space Transportation directorate has to approve any passenger spacecraft for operational safety.

[Klitschklo]

where can i download it?

[Brainaide]

Who does the introduction speech ?

Arnold Schwarzenegger:) ? (Sound like terminator) and why right after countdown I hear sounds of mating ? Will they offer mile-high club membership as well ?

On the serious note.. good luck to all who will make it possible for us to go to space.

[vfrickey]

62 mile-high club, eh?

Free-fall sex is supposed to be all that, though I don't think anyone's pushed THAT final frontier yet. Could be something for Bigelow's space hotel unit to (quietly) advertise... or "Virgin Galactic" (evil grin).

[StanleyKu]

Cool video but lousy music.

[alanhowitzer]

Really cool! I don't understand why it has to go into freefall though.

If I earn 10 million ever I will be sure to buy one.

[hughlooks]

$250,000.00?!?!? Holy shit!

It's a hell of a lot cheaper over ad EADS! Thier only' charging $200,000.00. One must know how to shop in order to save. ;)

[NearSpace01]

What do you expect? You can't get into space for $450 a passenger?

[SailorBarsoom]

Hope it works. While I wish Virgin all the luck in the world, we need a variety of vehicles.

[vfrickey]

Heard that - competition is how aviation got us as far as we now are - from the Wright Flyer to spacecraft.

[snak5]

why the tima was accelerated during takeoff soo bad

[akron187]

how much it cost? and where?

[CrownVictoriaCop]

Oklahoma, $250,000USD
