The VSS Enterprise’s first flight!

Virgin Galactic celebrated the first flight of the VSS Enterprise – it’s flagship “consumer spacecraft” – today.  This is one of the things about the future that makes me giddy – the idea that normal people like me will be able to afford to touch the heavens.  I honestly think that consumer space flight/travel/commerce is the future and that government-run programs like NASA are hindering our ability to make spaceflight and exploration a priority.
