Excellent future
I'm so glad that there are more successful launches of private-enterprise rockets. At some point, the governmental bodies will only exist for regulatory purposes, much like the FAA. Yes, space is big enough that it needed a government push (and some competition between governments), and now companies are getting into the normal flow of space traffic.
And what about El Reg's space project? You guys aren't giving up on that, are you? I'd love to see the playmonaut make it to space.
