Now Everyone can be a Space Cowboy

                Do you want to go to space? Well, I’m sorry but you’ll have to wait…a year.  You read it correctly, you may only have to one year in order to fly into outer space as a private citizen. We may not have advanced quite as quickly as George Jettson had hoped, but privatized space travel is on the horizon.

                Fox News is reporting that Sir Richard Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic, is planning to be space ready by 2014. After eight and a half years of research, the company can now break the sound barrier. Branson said he hopes to begin flights into space as soon as the end of the year (Fox News, http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/04/30/sir-richard-branson-plans-orbital-spaceships/).
