John Carmack To Cut Space Tourism Prices 50%

An anonymous reader writes "Looks like John Carmack, through Armadillo Aerospace, will be battling Burt Rutan and Richard Branson to make space travel affordable. From the article: 'Space Adventures is going to use an Armadillo Technologies rocket to launch amateur astronauts 62 miles into the sky. Nothing new, except that they will do it at half the price of Virgin Galactic's ticket, and in a real rocket!' Perhaps I'll visit space, after all."

    Whether or not you think you opinions are misogynistic doesn't mean you have carte blanche to abuse the moderation system to suppress them. There is no -1 Disagree.

    Neither are those that trust the government.

    Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?

    Those two seem to be one and the same at the moment, hence the lack of trust in both.
