Space planes 'to meet big demand'

I think it's interesting that they've figured out how to make a mach 3 aircraft with long, straight wings. Though I guess that for most of that time it'll be holding a high AOA for braking, so maybe the planform isn't really an issue until it's moving slower.
 
It finally looks like more countries are getting involved. Now we just need for Burt Rutan to get the ball rolling. Does anyone know when he's supposed to launch SS2?
 
That AVATAR looks good, but I wish some country would dream big, I'm ready to fly in this.

I'm betting that India's going to be the first to really pull it off.

Ganesh beats St. Christopher for travelers hands (trunks) down. That's just the kind of patron deity you need for space tourism.

Scoff if you want, but how many of you have some sort of "lucky" object hanging from your windshield mirror?
