Space Tourism News - Daily!

FlightGlobal has discussed the new rules published by the FAA (Federal Aviation Authority) regarding the regulations for space tourism vehicles. The rules do have some big implications for the flight testing of Virgin Galactic's space tourist craft, SpaceShipTwo - hopefully flying in May next year.

From the article, here are some of the important rulings:

• A single experimental permit will cover multiple vehicles of a particular design and allow an unlimited number of launches
• The FAA will identify the type of design changes that may be made without invalidating the permit.
• The one-year permit is renewable following an FAA review.
  
• None of the test flights covered by an experimental permit can carry passengers for compensation or for hire.

Oh well, guess I'm not going to be riding on a test flight anytime soon!

When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality.

Turbulence is life force. It is opportunity. Let's love turbulence and use it for change.
