Well yes I agree but it had to start sometime. The point is that its no longer the reserve of highly trained military and scientific personnel, normal people assuming they have the bucks can go and in time the price will go down. I'm glad he beat Bezos to the punch and I bet Musk is envious too

Big congratulations to Branson. This is how progress is made. He just made a big step of progress.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Yes, the X-15; but that was a government/military operation. This was a civilian program.
