Ladies and gentlemen, start your spaceships!Personal space travel is no longer the stuff of science fiction. The future is here: Civilians are launching into orbit. As early as 2010 paying customers will have the opportunity to experience weightlessness, courtesy of Virgin Galactic’s inaugural launch.How to Build Your Own Spaceship takes readers on a fun and quirky trip to the forefront of commercial space travel—the latest technology, the major business players, and the personal and financial benefits that are ripe for the picking.
