Into the Wild Black

Virgin Galactic has announced that they will follow the suborbital tourist vehicle SpaceShip Two with an orbital version.

It would be fun to retire on the moon. Unfortunately, I have the dubious priviledge of following in the footsteps of one of the Mercury Seven: like Deke Slayton, I’m subject to the occasional cardiac irrythmia.

Be sure to read the READ ME file before you jump in — even at this early stage it’s complicated :-)
