  • looks cool but fragile I would still do it I risk my life just to be in space for a couple minutes sure why not!!

    now i just need the $250k

  • Nothing, but its like whats the point of having wings in space? - Might be for some scientific reason.

    Space is a massive vaccume. :/ - Cool animation. ^^

  • one flight to space is going to cost 250k....

  • What is the purpose of having the wing fold up at 90 degree once in space?

  • What happens if the boosters dont work? well its easy you die, but is the same in a commercial airplane...What happens if the engines dont work wile you are in the air?... i can assure you that at least you wont have any arms or legs left

  • Soo... umm... does this mean international flights will get cheaper?? I mean if it's cheaper to fly to space than 1st class to Austraila...

    I figure if the industry has achieved flights to space; at least we should get a discount on domestic right??

  • If I had the money I would so do it. To bad I will never be able to go to space. Oh well, i hope that it is a safe trip for any one that does go.

  • One easy word: SPLAT

  • I would imagine that you could simply glide it back down and land. At 50,000ft that's a lot of altitude. Depending on the glide slope you could easily go 50 miles or more.

  • Tiene razon Rivenguard ¿que pasa si tras la separacion no encienden los motores?
