Virgin threatens to pull out of projected spaceport | Science | guardian.co.uk
I've said before that this complicated and expensive form of short joyride may well have a very short life if there is any accident. It's not like air travel, where people are always going to need and want the product.
This article talks about some of the liability limitation that is involved in the project. I guess that, given it is only rich people with plenty of money to sue who can afford it, such limits are absolutely essential.
I still think that high altitude balloon rides into space, (perhaps using cheaper hydrogen?), may well be a better product.
