US manned spaceflight from beginning to end is an exercise in positive propaganda that no longer has the power to capture the attention of the public. If manned space flight is to have a place in the world it has to be for more than just a way for nations to show-off. They have to find the practical commercial side of it or drop it. It pains me to say that having grown up in the midst of the Apollo program but it's the hard truth, manned spaceflight must become a paying venture to survive.
But it is!
Right now, Virgin Galactic is like the Wright Brothers first flight. In 25 years...well, that's the whole point, who the hell knows how far we can take it
