Today is a Space Day

OK, so this is my second article in this blog for today and I stick to the space theme:

[1] Virgin Galactic and the State of New Mexico are building the first commercial spaceport for space tourism!

 

Yes!

 

Finally! The 21st Century is here! We still do not have jet packs (which are a stupid idea of sorts anyway and rather impractical) but there is a space tourism industry that is finally picking up momentum! Private funding for things in space. Another source of financial back-up for adventuring along the final frontier. So if NASA doesn’t get the funding… Private companies jump in… OK… I’m dreaming again.

Read the report on [2] CNN.

I will propably never have the money, but what an adventure for a traveler that would be!

Well, maybe one day it will no longer cost 200.000$… I can still dream.
