For $200,000 you may be able to fly into space in 2010

I find this pretty exciting: Virgin Galactic shows off mothership aircraft:

----------
The photo-op was the public unveiling of the White Knight Two mothership before a crowd of engineers, dignitaries and space enthusiasts at the Mojave Air & Space Port in the high desert north of Los Angeles.
The four-engine jet, with its 140-foot single wing, is an engineering marvel. The space between its twin fuselages is where SpaceShipTwo, the passenger rocket being built for Branson's Virgin Galactic, will be mounted.

The price is still a bit steep, but I'm hoping it will follow Moore's law and drop quickly.
