I wonder if any of the customers realize the incredible risk they are taking. I'm sure it's much riskier than the shuttle was even though it never gets anywhere near the shuttle's height.
I would still ride both in a heartbeat though.
Here's a good read:

Early commercial aviation was very dangerous at times (as were the early space programs of the US and Soviet Union). Those early years had a lot of rich folks as well. Virgin Galactic is probably a lot safer. I would ride it in a heartbeat as well, and have thought about it.
I hope to be around long enough for the price to come down to under $100,000.
