Pictures released Monday which we saw on Boing Boing of 'Spaceship 2' from The Mojave desert, California, home to Virgin Galactic's research and development base (it's actually the craft in the middle, between the dual carriages of the catamarine-like aircraft that lauches it). $200,000 US will get you a ticket (assuming you pass the physical) on a flight to the upper limits of Earth's atmosphere to the edge of space, and approximately 5 or 6 minutes of true 'zero-g' wieghtlessness... not to metion the huge carbon footprint you will earn yourself at the same time.
