First attempt at private manned space flight set for June 21

The other night I was watching the new Disney Tomorrowland DVD at Christian's place. While a damn cool show, it made me a bit mad when I realized how far we should really be in space exploration at this point. But once we got to the moon, the public's enthusiam was lost and NASA has been limping along ever since. Hell, our current program is based around a reusable craft that was designed in the early 70s. The private sector getting into space is what's really going to make things happen. Space tourism here we come!
