Just wait until this bird gets off the ground. I guarantee that the Federal government will begin looking for ways to stifle this burgeoning industry. In no way will the Federal government allow itself to look bad when compared to private industry. It's the reason they're trying to push a health care takeover through Congress with as little debate as possible and it's the reason they'll crush this industry right about the time it becomes profitable. I think this is especially likely now that the Space Shuttle program is coming to an end and that the Obama administration has the Manned Flight budget hedge trimmers sharpened and ready to go.
In any case, check out this article here for some really cool pictures of SpaceShipTwo.

Between the EPA and the FAA (especially the FAA!) they'll have this whole thing "killed to death" (as Rick would say) in no time at all.
grrrr...
