I doubt that it has a "economy" class.

Im glad someone independent with money is doing something about NASA's lack of foresight.

Transportation technology makes the world smaller, and forces society's to grow up.

this is a jet engine kerosene or summit they need to develop warp drive so its not really a spaceship

Hi. Aprox by the year 2020 a laptop will reach the human brain potential for processing data which means that there is a huge market waiting for hundreds of billions dollars to be sold or invested in humanoid robots and intelligent systems. It is the beginning of the bigger industry in human history. Search on Google luisbeck007 you will find the most complete humanoid robot list in the World, good information and interesting issues.

@SailorBarsoom Well id say i validated godwins law more than i violated it. Argue points? i have a single purpose here and that's to irritate :) You sound like a retarded old man with alzheimers. How can you expect me to have a nice life without you in it? Nooooooooooo. Your another gulible victim

[SailorBarsoom]

Well, as long as you were willing to argue points, I was willing to do the same. I didn't even cry foul when you violated Godwin's Law.

But if you are going to belittle yourself by resorting to name-calling, then I really don't have time to waste on you.

Have a nice life, but without me in it. Good bye.

@SailorBarsoom and sum risks are fukin more risky than others. Ur such a cum fart!

[SailorBarsoom]

or for that matter that I will fall down my own stairs and break my neck. But these risks are small, and it's worth taking them, just on the off chance that the DVD I want to watch is available.

How much more risk is it worth to see the Earth from the heavens, or to experience weightlessness, or to take the first private, commercial, suborbital steps that will lead to orbit, the rest of the Solar System, and the stars beyond?

All of life is risk. Some risks are truly worth it.

Ad Astera!

Oh yes. Huge, gigantic balls of nuclear fusion fire. Many of them put out more energy in an hour than the entire human race has used since we first started building campfires. Our own star, the Sun, does exactly this.

I'm about to walk to the library and see if they have a DVDE of Disney's _Alice in Wonderland_. On the way, I will be taking th erisk that I will be run over, mugged, shot by somebody aiming at something else, or for that matter

durned character limit

@SailorBarsoom remind me again about these stars? last time i heard, they were big balls of fire.

The rest of us are going to the stars.
