The Mothership of SpaceShipTwo had a successful test flight today in California. It was reported that all went perfectly. Make sure your credit card limit will go to at least $200,000 and get your ticket soon. By the time the first tourist passengers are taken up (late 2010), the inflation rate will be so high that this might actually be affordable.
By 2010, these guys will be the only source of launching folks into space in the USA if NASA actually shuts down the Space Shuttle Program. Too bad Virgin Galactic can't get this baby into orbit and reach the International Space Station, but it is a good first step.
