Space Hogs

SpaceShipOne

So a guy from Mojave won 10 million bucks for building a mini space ship and flying into sub-orbital space twice. That’s pretty cool and all, but I’m not impressed with the goal of all this space work. A bunch of billionaires are hoping to provide trips into sub-orbital space for wealthy people by 2007. Hello…wealthy people are already taking trips into space!! Remember the rich dude that took a ride on one those space shuttles? And he went into orbit! None of this sub-orbital wussy stuff. I want to go into orbit (insert giggle here). What’s up with all this “let’s take the rich folks to space” b.s.? Why not shoot to make it affordable for everybody to go by 2007. Besides, if they're so freaking rich that they can afford to go to space, don’t you think there’s better things they can do with their money? Like Oprah. I love Oprah. Gimme a car.

Stupid, greedy rich people. Keeping space all to themselves.
