With respects to Zonk and without taking up too much time, this is my last post about US spaceflight. To find out what's in the works go here: NASA Human Space Flight :smile:

Because there was no Congressional funding or presidential mandate for a follow-on to the Shuttle, US manned flights are on hiatus for a while. There was a program called Constellation to build hardware and prepare to return to the moon, but Obama in all ways important killed it. Constellation...

A seat on a Virgin Galactic flight seems his only way into space. I hope he makes it - if the Queen lets him.
