These Are The Guys That Will Take You To Space In 2014 For $95K [TCTV]
It's in every science fiction book and movie since forever. Humans — the ordinary non-astronaut kind, like you and I — going up into space like it's no big deal. And it's generally believed that one day, eventually, space flight will become mainstream. But alas, the day draws nigh. XCOR Aerospace and Space Expedition Corporation (SXC) have introduced the first aircraft that can endure frequent repeat trips to sub-orbital levels before tuckering out: the Lynx. Since the Lynx, a small fighter-esque plane that only holds two people, can make multiple trips a day back and forth to space, space flight becomes affordable enough for anyone to take the trip. Well, not necessarily anyone. By "affordable," I mean $95,000 for a ticket.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/_jOXLW3RlfE/
