We’ve made it

Two days ago, a private held company succeeded called SpaceX in launching the first privately developed rocket into space. After several (some very expensive) failures, they’ve finally made it!
If some of you fail to understand the huge significance of this moment let me make it clear for you: The space race has entered the private sector. The cost of sending a 1kg into space is $22.000 at today’s costs. Basically, to send an object into space costs almost the same amount in gold. This company with limited resources, has succeeded in putting a vehicle on a precise orbit around earth and plans to slice this price in half[1] … manned missions will follow.
It’s started :).

I feel the same. Perhaps, in about 30 years these guys will fly us out there …
Great…so in a few years(optimistically), if a couple fights , she won’t say “I’m going to my mom’s, come and look for me if you love me”, she’ll say “I’m flying into outer space, find out which planet, if you love me”
