Virgin Galactic’s real goal may be point-to-point travel around Earth

[smp]

From Ars Technica:
"Nearly a month has passed since Virgin Galactic became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, opening trading at $11.75 a share. Since that time the stock has had a rough ride, falling to under $7.50 a share as of Tuesday morning and losing more than a third of its value under the SPCE symbol.

Although the offering provides investors a unique opportunity to purchase stock in a space-tourism company involved in human spaceflight, there are questions about the viability of Virgin Galactic's business model and ability to profitably send thousands of humans safely on suborbital space rides."

This makes some sense to me as a possibility.

Still a niche business but if you can put several such activities together it might be viable.
