Never ride in a virgin galactic spaceship. Better to go with an experienced one.

There’s something about the word ‘spaceship’ that sounds very juvenile.

Regrettable, but pushing the aerospace envelope can be a dangerous activity. These things will happen.

What gets me is that they were careful, pushing the envelope in small increments. Not amateurs, in any way.

And still.

Waiting for the inevitable “space is not for cowards” comment.

Eyes are shifting to Elon Musk.

This project seems to have a lot of problems and is taking a relatively long time after initial success.

If it is suborbital it is not really a “spaceship”, is it?

Forgive me for my ignorance, but...

If gravity is stronger on earth than in the stratosphere and if commercial airlines can reach 35k feet under normal power then why can’t a spaceship simply fly into space? The edge of space is only 65 or 70 miles up. Why not fly into space?

Someone on the thread, please educate me.
