The goal here is "only" to get to 100 km altitude and back... and I think they'll be able to make it.
When you and me will be able (I mean financialy) to get a ride on one of these commercial vehicules, what will you prefer, feeling to go in a rocket or in an airplane? I guess Blue Origins looks more like a Space vehicule than SS1 but if I'm offered a ride on SS1, I'll go tomorrow wink.gif
