Virgin Galactic

It's very well explained in Mike Mullane's book "Riding Rockets" - highly recommended.

I think three senators flew on Shuttle flights - Jake Garn (who was so spacesick that NASA now refers to levels of space sickness as the "Garn Scale"), Bill Nelson and, of course, ex-astronaut, John Glenn.

Nelson is now the new Director of NASA - so he is obviously very keen on the US space programme.

Toaster will be very annoyed.

[Eric Mc]

Probably not.

Sitting on rockets is a whole order of magnitude riskier than being on an airliner.

[Eric Mc]

Very interesting.
