Commercial Space Flight

We all want to go to space. Well I know I do and have wanted that since I saw my first picture of a rocket at the age of 5 and a picture of Jupiter at the age of 6.

The sub-orbital market is what the branson crowd are aiming for. It's like dipping your toes in the water. Excalibur-Almaz (EA) are planning to offer a deep dive and a long splash. I just love their video reminding us that it takes 90min to orbit the planet.

The Spaceports blog explains more.
