Going to send two people around the moon by the end of next year. That's some proper space tourism, none of this sub-orbital flight stuff. If only I was that filthy rich.

I would have thought it would take a lot more testing for them to put together a human rated rocket (how many launches since their last launch pad explosion)

Glad to see them pushing on with things ... but they've only had 15 launches in last two years, maybe they need to be launching more often
