Not bad, $10 Million bucks for a couple days work. Just kidding, I'm sure a lot of effort and expertise went into this project. Now they just need to make it available to the rest of us. I believe that is the purpose of this whole thing, to make space travel more accessible???;po;

You bet! As a matter of fact, looks like they're planning to start taking deposits next year for operational flights beginning in about 2 years.

On Monday the Discovery channel had a program called BLACK SKY, which was a review of the whole Space Ship One effort including the first flight to 328,000 ft. I am sure they will play it again.
