Virgin Galactic has successfully test fired the rocket engine that will boost SpaceShipTwo to the edge of space. SpaceShipTwo is designed to carry eight people-- two pilots and six passengers-- on suborbital flights.
VG already has 300 people signed up to fly at $200,000 a ticket, and seems on its way to starting commercial operations in 2011. SpaceShipTwo is essentially complete, and WhiteKnightTwo, the aircraft that will carry SpaceShipTwo to altitude, is well into its test flights.
