all i can say is Woohoo!!...finally something good, as long as the goverment doesnt stick their finger into the cookie jar. all will be well. Now all we have to do is enshrine some freehold property settler rights on land in space(moon, mars). well not the whole moon or mars...just the general area..hmmm...maybe a few kilometres from the point of settlement. much like ships flying country flags...settlement can fly the flag of the country of their choice, of course following that countries laws.

...count me in,
i mean OUT!

'200,000' dollars for a 'two-and-a-half-hour flight'!!!
You must be bloody jokin'!

It should probably cost that much to reach the moon; damn you conartists.

and for the critics:
it does not cost $200k for a lousy training program and some fuel, to get your furry butts into space!

That's really fussy. Do u think u are going through something interesting? Being rich, it does not mean to make your own world. $200,000 is much larger than life man.
