Historic Space Launch Attempt Scheduled for June 21
A privately-developed rocket plane will launch into history on June 21 on a mission to become the world?s first commercial manned space vehicle. Investor and philanthropist Paul G. Allen and aviation legend Burt Rutan have teamed to create the program, which will attempt the first non-governmental flight to leave the earth?s atmosphere
All I can say is that this is extremely exciting. I’m glad we are getting to the point where private space travel is becoming viable. Maybe the private sector can get out into space and do some interesting things whilst the major governments keep spending their moneys on killing each other.

You know who they should send into space on this historic space launch? The Barenaked Ladies. I think they would have a great time and make all the crazy space beings laugh and laugh with their quirky pop stylings. Or maybe they’d burn up upon re-entry. Either way would be okay with me
