4. Elbert Leander "Burt" Rutan Aerospace engineer & entrepreneur
“The next 15 years will see thousands of people leave the atmosphere on suborbital flights. My company's SS2 system might fly 100,000 people by If it is shown to be highly profitable, perhaps we will see 20,000 people traveling to orbit by 2035, and then thousands to the moon by If we make a courageous decision, like the program we kicked off for Apollo, we will see our grandchildren in outposts on other planets.”

14. Key Conclusions:
If the price of a return ticket to low Earth orbit could be reduced to between $10,000 and $20,000 per person, a substantial fraction of the populations of the rich countries, of the order of 100 million people, would wish to make such a trip.
Success will also depend on achieving safe and comfortable flight conditions, comparable to air travel today.
A low cost, safe and comfortable launch vehicle is key.
Value can be added to the service via space hotels or other space infrastructure.

17. Infographic link on website:

18. Enterprise SpaceShipTwo accident
Enterprise SpaceShipTwo prototype broke apart in a test flight on Oct. 31, 2014.
Early interest is focused on the ship's twin tail booms, which were deployed into their braking position too early.

19. Question 2 (a & b) How likely do you think Virgin Galactic
will start this service
within the next 5 years?
How likely on a scale from 1-5 would
you use Virgin Galactic?

20. Question 3 Study the three infographics for a few minutes
(Virgin Galatic, XCOR or Blue Origin)
on the website and vote
