Sir Richard Branson gains licence for commercial spaceflights
The US Federal Aviation Administration says Sir Richard's rocket plane can carry paying customers.

The test flights probably carried ballast to simulate passengers, so performance should be similar.Wouldn't flying with less people help it break the Karman line, assuming that he wanted to? Anyways, first flight is with employees. A bit odd, although it they probably volunteered
SpaceX at this point has flown WAYYYYY past either of them. If I may, one needs a little blue pill to get it up, and the other is still a virgin!
Do cruise ships require licensing from somewhere for alcohol in international waters? I don't know. Seems it's regulated by maritime law rather than a country. Since there is no space law in this regard yet, maybe it'll be easier to just make that part of an 'all inclusive' package, then there would not be any issue with alcohol sales. Then what about casinos?I wonder what the laws on selling alcohol in space are. Wonder who will be the first to get a licence for selling alcohol in space
