Well climb out of your hole and read the news occasionally. Burt Rutan has already launched two private spaceflights from the Mojave Spaceport where he won the coveted Ansari X-Prize.

A glorified bullet goes sgtraight up and straight down........never an orbital flight...too expensive!

This is all just a circus stunt.

Yep. I keep saying that too. Those idiots at NASA did the same circus stunt - a suborbital flight - with a guy named Alan Shephard and then people started talking about walking on the moon!

Worse, now people from private enterprise think they can accomplish technological breakthroughs, and they think they can do it cheaper than government, yeah right! If that were true they'd be building computers that talk and televisions that could fit in the palm of your hand. That'll be the day.

I'm going back home to hide under my covers. It's all a long shot and it's all too expensive.
