Hello all,

now I´ve read article after article about how great space tourism is going to get. How it will change the world, sort of like the Internet did.

Every Internet billionaire is putting their money into their own space tourism company, like Scaled Composites.

What I´m thinking about is, should I put some hard earned cash into this business? What are the odds of space tourism succeding?

If the trips themselves went down in price and you were guranteed to come back I would certainly do it :)

I got a domain too... then saw how many other people are already there!

I'll probably put some cash into it, but I did have a plan for a rather grander venture which I think I'll shelve with the other patents!

Talk about speculation ;-) I must admire your optimism ...

I do remember getting a little excited when the Xprize was on the go ... and buying the .co.uk version of that project...

It all seems a little rediculous and redundent now someone has won it and became the first private funded exploration in to space...

That domain could still be developed in to something else lol but let me get through the 4 developing now..

Officially shelved ....
