[FPSPACE] Virgin Galactic - Beyond Space Tourism[Scanned by MAIL]

[Nick Watkins]

I think the first discussions I remember seeing on subject-as a child in 60s-mixed both topics. I remember the wonderful pics in "Frontiers of Space" by Bono and Gatland of the Hyperion/Pegasus etc where iirc the vehicles were dual-use by design.

Typing this at Heathrow, waiting for a long flight to LA in coach, rather wishing the Pegasus had materialised as promised ...;-)

Dr. Matula,

Its great to see that you have discovered space 
point-to-point transportation as a likely
