Nothing terribly interesting, but I couldn't help but highlight this one sentence:

Yaniac proudly told those who attended a post-flight briefing that over the years, the plane's crew had cleaned up at least 285 gallons of vomit.

That's a hell of a frat party.

Someone (the X-Prize people?) started up a civilian vomit comit business. For $3k you get 13 hops to weightlessness. I believe the first flight is already sold out and it's based in Texas.

I think Branson has already setup the xprize guys to launch ppl 62 miles up in the air for 200k (iirc) a pop. Fun times.
