NASA itself initiated X-prize project, since anti science people are getting voted into US government, who's killing off nasa funding.

its politics that got challenger and columbia killed.

government wanted to show off shuttle program, so the stressed nasa management.

2003 government cuts budget for engineering and management funds so, mismanagement is caused.

Spaceship 1 has already been tested and it worked. I see no reason why this won't work. Congratulations Burt!

For the naysayers why don't you go find a nice cave to curl up in.

It is only in space for like 10 minutes. It can't reach orbital velocity (the ISS orbits at ~27500 km/h, and you can't orbit much slower than that.) This only goes a couple thousand. It goes straight up, and then descends. SpaceShipThree will most likely be orbital.

Please respond to this. I'm not making fun of you, but why do you think it won't work?

Its not far fetched, do a search on spaceship one, its basicaly the same idea except less pretty but its the same. big plane takes small plane up. releases it at a high altitude and the small plane rockets into space, comes back and lands. saves a lot of launch fuel when you compare it to a regular space launch.

Because Nasa´s airships are soooo safe.......
