Good idea to test with a dummy first! Better then with animals! Andressa

The first flight is with a dummy. If the dummy survives, there will be a second flight “soon after” with a live person.

Uh, from all the press I’ve read this is a test flight with a dummy. I thought they clearly stated that a manned flight is a future prospect?

I don’t care as long as every space tourist comes back with a new distribution of Linux.

Mark Shuttleworth was the first space tourist. Period. This one looks like a hoax.

The only view hole is the tiny dome in which the “astronaut” can view his flight…. It takes some balls the size of Jupiter to get launched in to space and watch the whole thing from a first person point of view trapped in a sardine can! I respect this guy but are we sure this is sane?

Wouldn’t it be normal, if you designed and built an entirely new rocket, to send the first one up un-personed? Or at least, with a pigeon in it or something?
