Europe Unveils New Space Plane for Tourist Market
mrminator writes to tell us Space.com is reporting that Europe's largest space contractor, EADS, has just announced their plans to build a new space tourism vehicle. The new rocket, powered by liquid methane and liquid oxygen will carry passengers on a 90 minute round trip flight for somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000 euros ($267,000).
In your butt.
Seriously, look it up, its science.
I see lots of govt dollars going to space tourism now, in the US, and now over "across the pond" in wackyland.
Will these costs ever be recouped? I seen governments build all kinds of doofy shit that turned out to be nothing but a waste of money in the end.
Sounds like election time pork. Do they vote in Europe or what?

Then you're a complete loser. Get off of your ass and quit with the excuses. My personal wealth far outstrips my parents' wildest dreams and I'm not anyone special. I was born in Georgetown, SC (the armpit of the nation) and grew up dirt poor. I paid taxes on an income in excess of 300 grand last year. Maybe you are wealthy too and are just parroting nonsense or are simply deluded. You could also be genuinely poor. If you are, seriously, get off of your ass; there is still plenty of opportunity in this country yet.
