I thought I heard one of the reporters speculating that the target was
to bring in a "space trip" at around $10,000, but maybe my ears were
playing tricks on me.


I hope that number is about right. My understanding is that SpaceShipOne
is a three seater, a pilot and two passengers. If they can bring up two
paying customers at a time for around $10,000 each then I'd guess
they'll have lots of customers. And all that money flowing into the
space business will blast us to a point where in a very few years
we'll have availiable REALLY amazing things. (Not that this isn't
amazing as well.)
