@ Cheryl : Maybe since the Company Orbital Technologies is Russian, it will use either Baikonur in Kazakhstan or Plesetsk in Karelia, Russia. Or maybe it will even launch it at the new space center that is being built in Siberia.

Does anyone know what space launching location Orbital is likely to use? I’ve heard talk of both Wallops Island VA and Cape Canaveral, FL.

Thanks.

“Russian company Orbital Technologies has announced its plants to build a commercial space station”

Wow. Those are pretty talented plants. So it’s a story about space tourism _and_ genetically modified crops? Or maybe Triffids… in… space!?

Or maybe it’s just a typo.

My guess is the price tag will be $20 mil a trip

As much as I’d like to see this by 2020 I don’t think it will be a reality anytime before 2030.

I share your skepticism, Jay. But I’d love to be proven wrong.
