    I read an interesting article in the Metro today. Its about these guys http://www.copenhagensuborbitals.com/index.php

    They basically want to launch a human being into space.
    Fair play to them, I feel we need more groups like these:)

    50k is a good deal. Currently, it costs about $10,000 to get a gallon of water into space.

    Takes a lot of fuel to get things going that fast.

    You could easily pay 5K for a first class plane ticket to parts of the world and only hit what, 5-600 mph?

    I wonder if they charge extra for baggage? :-)
