Reasons why we are living the future already

Yeah for the very rich there is already some commercial orbital space craft flights, I remember reading that Richard Branson planned to bring some flights out

Just googled it, the cheapest was $95k per passenger (can only carry a single passenger); the other alternative was a 6 passenger orbiter costing $250k per passenger made by virgin galactic

@Betty Swollocks, I swear I read somewhere in the mainstream press they were talking abut Condorde revival?

You're indeed correct. Never say never, but I would be amazed if this gets off the ground. Concorde doesn't have an air worthiness certificate due to Airbus not providing support, and no amount of money being thrown at it is going to change that.

Me too. It's one of two things I wish I'd had the opportunity to do in aviation. The other one is land at the old Kai Tak airport in Hong Kong.

My father used to travel internationally quite a bit for business. To this day, he still talks about the harrowing approach into Hong Kong (Kai Tak). After seeing pics and videos of that approach, I can see why it's so infamous.
