Virgins...in...Space

"SpaceShipTwo will be carried by the mothership to an altitude of up to 50,000 feet, then released before its rocket engine ignites for a high-speed ascent into space, where passengers will experience a few minutes of weightlessness."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap_travel/20...pphu-container

I may never get to experience this... but keep it up... the next generation may consider it normal travel!
