Company Xcor Aerospace has published information on its subsequent development - double the space shuttle prototype Lynx Mark I. Make a spaceship, of course, is not to demonstrate the possibilities. Lynx Mark I is for commercial space travel.
Due to its compact dimensions, the shuttle can use conventional take-off strips for takeoff and landing. The maximum flight altitude of the Lynx Mark I is 61 km, which is enough for a feeling of weightlessness. Lynx Mark I test flights are scheduled for 2010. So in the near future, moneybags will be able to feel the delights of space travel in the "sports" business class shuttle.
