    Doesn't seem as exciting as when privatized/commercial flight was brand new, but I'm still watching it.

    Branson's little toy has a glide ratio should things not go 100% as planned, the B.O. not so much. I'm not watching because I want something to go wrong but that possibility does amp things up.

    Moon footage was way more convincing ;)

    I'm more questioning whether they used animations rather than live footage for portions of this launch. Some of it looked normal, but some of it was too sterile to be live.

    I think this is great news. Yet another American company kicking arse and ensuring American prominence in the future. And hey, Texas played a critical role, so further ensuring Texan prominence into the future.

    If this is really a step toward something useful, I'm all for it... if it ends as just a 15 minute ride in a theme park, NSM.

    I'll have to see where BO goes with New Glenn...

    I was much less impressed when he gave his great american award of 100 million to Van Jones...you do remember Jones was going to be one of Obamas czars until it became public he was a confirmed commie. Obama had to drop him but cnn picked him up until soros created a spot for him to run one of his projects. F... em both

    You're launching a chicken into space in a microwave? First it was Pigs In Space, now it's Chickens In Space.


    Yes sir. T-minus 1hr. Lift off at 165°.

    For 15 seconds @ 0-g and no orbit, the Vomit Comet seems like a better deal at significantly less cost
