Oklahoma-based Rocketplane Kistler is one of Virgin Galactic's biggest competitors. Rocketplane Kistler, whose main investor is American businessman George French, hopes to start test flights next January and fly commercially by next summer. French owns several businesses including a space education company in Wisconsin.

Test flights in January and paying passengers 6 months later. Uh. No ****ing chance in hell.

Thanks Kab for the pity reply. 200k for suborbital flight seems a ripoff. Less than 5 minutes of weightlessness too.

Rocketplane was one of LilSooner's clients in her old job.

Kinda cool stuff.
