Spaceport America!
« on: July 19, 2006, 06:04:21 pm »
...FUCK YEAH!  (Team America all the way)

Such a catchy name, how could anyone ever some up with something so AWESOME sounding?



Also, the first launch is set for Septemeber!...this actually IS cool.  New Mexico & the rest of the world is well on the way to having commercial spaceflight.

I bet you will have to be hella rich to enjoy that.
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

Original tickets are going for $200k...projected to fall to $10k soon.
This is going to bring MILLIONS to our sad little economy in New Mexico, THANK YOU Bill Richardson!

Oh only 10k?  Not bad.  ::)

It's funny how you applaud America for this, when it's owned by a British guy :P

AntiVirus, remember that Californian dude that went up with the Russians for like $10million?  $10k is ALOT cheaper


rabbit, Branson owns Virgin Galactic, he doesn't own the spaceport.  The spaceport is property of New Mexico & will accommodate more than one spaceflight company.  There are people setting up shop to have rocket-races even.

We can't launch a rocket into space withought a bunch of risks and even then things can go wrong and people are thinking about this? Give me a break.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

They'd be going out with a VERY literal bang.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.
