Men in Space: Past and Future

I'm old enough to remember the excitement of sending a man to the moon. For those of you who aren't or who wish to relive some of the era there is a Discovery Channel series called When We Left Earth that covers it well.

In the future many different companies hope to get the average man into space. Certainly Richard Branson's company, Virgin Galactic, is making a good run at it. Here is a 'spy photo' that shows it: Is this SpaceShipTwo?

Some of us may not be interested in going to space. I'd love a chance to go. Will I be able to afford to go as a tourist? I doubt it, but that won't stop me from dreaming.
