May 25, 20233 yr Years ago, I proposed to Mathijs at Aerosoft the possibility of them creating Spaceship one for FSX. Even wrote to Mr Branson about it, though I lost the reply letter years ago. Was decided that the licensing would be too expensive. 🙁 Bleah. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

May 25, 20233 yr While impressive, I'm not sure I would want to fly on this (assuming someone else was paying for it as I certainly don't have the money). At least with New Shepard and Dragon there are escape options if something goes wrong, like the engine blowing up for any reason.
