Would You Like to Swing on a Star?

Well, maybe Scaled Composites will get you there. They're hoping to send up the first non-government astronout later this month.

Read about it in a CNN.com article.

Or, look into The Ansari X Prize.

Very cool! I didn't realize Rutan was so close to ready. (Although I've been betting on him winning the X Prize: he has a habit of doing stuff that everyone else assumes is impossible, or at least infeasible.)

Fingers crossed -- this would be a really excellent milestone to see...
