This year may finally fulfill the promise of private human spaceflight

[smp]

From Ars Technica:
"This year could see the fulfillment of a number of long-promised achievements in human spaceflight. For the first time, private companies could launch humans into orbit in 2020, and two different companies could send paying tourists on suborbital missions. The aerospace community has been watching and waiting for these milestones for years, but 2020 is probably the year for both."

Really exciting if you find yourself sitting on top of a controlled explosion!

Overheard from a a Vietnam era chopper pilot,; "Never fly the "A" model. That's what they pay test pilots for."
