Yeah, it’s but bare a brief hop up to “space” and then a quick fall back. And it costs $200K+ apiece. So, only the uber rich with uber money to burn can afford it.
Today.
Tomorrow?
Well damn, if the future doesn’t look brighter all the time!
And from the looks of it, I guess the guys down at the National Air & Space Museum had best start working now on making more space for _YET_ _ANOTHER_ Burt Rutan creation to park in the Museum’s lobby. The guy already has _TWO_ of his designs there!

Well… Dick Rutan said they sent the Voyager there because they
didn’t want to fix the 100’s of problems with it !
I’ve worked on projects like that !

Yeah, it’s a start, the same way barnstorming was a start right after WW1 — but at different percentage of annual income. Anything is good.
