RICHARD BRANSON has ordered five SpaceShipTwo sub-orbital space rockets from Burt Rutan for a planned space tourism service. Quotable:
SpaceShipTwo�s cabin will have about the same diameter as a Gulfstream V business jet, slightly over 6ft in height and 7ft in width .. With tickets starting at maybe $200,000 a ride, this is going to make space tourism into a whole new industry.
