Just finished watching Virgin Galactic's flight today. I was not impressed! I heard a CNN commentator compare the mothercraft/passenger craft to the Space Shuttle. I was a little insulted. I worked on the Apollo and Space Shuttle Programs and know how complex and difficult it was to accomplish what we did. Comparing this effort with the Shuttle is like comparing a Ford Model T to a current Formula racecar. About all they share in common is wheels!
IMHO this was just an ego stunt by a billionaire.
Rant over!
