Right now the first privately-funded, manned rocket is heading into a low earth orbit of about 62 miles. They're using a reusable craft and the cost of the launch is a tiny fraction of launching the space shuttle. How far can we be from space vactations?

The next twenty years are going to be interesting. Now the private sector is involved, things are going to move fast!!\'01 Mineral Grey SVT Cobra<br />-former F-body owner -
I actually got out of bed at a decent hour just to watch that. Really good.
And I agree, now that the private sector is involved there can be some actual progress without politicians sticking their hands into who gets bids, etc. and driving up costs.2005 Ford Focus ZX3 SE D20 M5 - Modified ;) <a href=\"http://www.knightenmotorsports.com\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.knightenmotorsports.com</a> <br />[ U R L = h t t p : / / w w w . g e o c i t i e s . c o m / h e a r t l a n d _ h e a t _ v 6 ] Heartland Heat V6 [ / U R L ]Comment

Yeah, a private citizen took a privately funded spacecraft into sub-orbit so I turn on Fox News to try to see a video of the launch. You know what I saw? A report on J Lo and Ben Affleck not making the Forbes list of top 100 celebrities this year when last year they were 5th and 7th. WTF? How the hell is that even news worthy on a normal day not to mention a day when a private citizen was put into space by a private company?
Serious news is dead, it is all infotainment.
