Outside Reading Post #3

Space Shuttle Lifts Off
I just read an article about a recent space rocket launch. Instead of some astronauts doing some important mission, this rocket held American computer game millionaire Richard Garriott. Garriott is the latest man to pay for space travel. I think that this could be the start of a slowly growing trend. I believe wealthy entrepeneurs will find space travel intrigueing and potentially spend the money on the ultimate vacation. As technology progresses over time, these kind of actions should become more common and frequent. Even though some people are traveling to space now, I don't think the average people will be up there for quite a while.
