The Russian-made Geophysica was designed to be the highest flying plane in the world, able to reach an altitude of 21 kilometers, and for ten years served as a laboratory studying the upper levels of the atmosphere. |

Tell me, does it suck to have a wooden head ? You’ve got the experience

Smart and cool? Is it my fault if your stupid and not cool and everyone else seems to be smart and cool to you?

You have to be …
You have to be impressed by Russia’s engineering and technology. Russia has ‘done space’ better than the US, and at a mere fraction of the cost of the (intentionally ?) wasteful NASA budgets.

Well space tourists …
Well space tourists are paying millions, as well as EU renting Soyuz vehicles, and noone is paying you or your country.
But you still like to look smart and cool.
Well that’s a epic fail, lol.

Hahahaha this stone-age technology cracks me up.. why not just tie yourself to a bottle rocket like Wild E. Coyote?

this is true, …
this is true, however there is a confidence that virgins planned spaceship 3 could achieve orbital flight. this is exciting as a low cost flight to earths orbit will signal the true beginning of the space age. we shall see

whats the fun of being in orbit for a few minutes….these shuttles should have the capabilities to tour the moon at least.

But the technology …
But the technology in the Virgin program can’t be adapted to orbital space flights, so it is a dead-end unfortunately. I am sure a lot of people would sign up for the Virgin trips, but not all of them are aware it’s sub-orbital.

think of the money …
think of the money that they earn with each ticket..the thing is,how long will it take until they start their own space program.
The sub-orbital flights are just a prelude,Russia is doing it,and certainly that some group of space “afficionatos”(is it correct?)will take the future into their own hands,and start their own enterprise.
What we need now,are investors in this kind of market.Investing in this,would certainly create jobs in many areas.

With the new field of nano-engineering, space travel will be much more safe, successful, AND easy

got to love russia.Mate i want to ride that shuttle,even if it’s a flying buggy,i just want to get out there T.T

Now this is what I like to see. Competition amongst businesses in a free market.

The Virgin Galactic …
The Virgin Galactic program is predicated on entirely new-technology propulsion units which reduce the costs by a quantum factor. And the Virgin craft are 90% reusable after each flight.
But against that, it’s really questionable if Virgin is actually going to “space” – they are sub-orbital flights and incapable of going higher.

so uhh russia is …
so uhh russia is sending probe to Mars moons…..to study and introduce life on them…..and US spends billions to not interfere with other worlds.

I doubt it, considering the amount of fuel needed for the number of passengers available. We’d be better off working out a space elevator.

Great stuff. Now …
Great stuff. Now there’s serious rivals they’ll have to contend with each other and keep prices as low as possible.
Maybe one day we’ll all be going on space trips similar to day trips we engage on today.
