Wonder what the price tag will be for a ride on the CST-100 to a Bigelow hotel.. Way out of my price range I bet :lol:
 
Somebody forgot to flare! :P

Jimmy Carter also says "nucular", and he was a nuclear engineer before he was a politician!

Private sector flying nuclear spaceships to Mars? Too good to be true, but maybe someday.

Well, there would be heavy government involvement, just as there has been with SpaceX projects up till now. The biggest problem is the uneducated screaming away from Nucular power in space, and if they keep doing that, it's going to have us stuck in LEO for a very long time...

Maybe someday we will have nuclear powered, VASIMR propelled tramp freighters... :lol:

Burt Rutan retire?! Say it ain't so!

Of course a guy like that will never really quit for good, he'll just become a consultant. Hopefully he'll figure out how to orbit people for cheap.
 
Space Travel: "Space Tourism Sector A Good Opportunity For Insurance Firms".

Heh, I can just imagine it:
The commander of Boeing's CST-100 accidentally clips the ISS during approach for docking, but he doesn't want to have to explain it to the ISS commander, and so he does a retro-fire and aborts the docking.
Then the ISS commander starts chasing the CST-100 in his Soyuz: "Hey, we need to swap insurance info"! :rofl:
 
Look at this one:

http://www.jochen-schweizer.de/geschenke/weltraumflug,default,pd.html

Yeah it's german.
But with a bit of school german , and/or google Translator, you will figure it out .

jochen schweizer . de is a page that sells extreme sport trips, like
driving quads in the arctic and so on.

Well he also gives you the opportunity to buy a "space trip" .
The price description is: "Price if Demanded" (something like that.)

Well i'd do that, but even flying an MIG 29 costs 14.000 € .
That space expedition probably costs a mountain of paper.
 
I hope so

Anyways, orbital flights will come. I bet easily within 20 years.

I think you're be right. At least I hope...
But what we really need is something like the DeltaGliderIV, at the cost of a current airplane. Perhaps it could even take us to the ISS! :) That would be really cool.
