Use of Shuttle after retirement

NASA plans retire the Shuttle by 2010, but the space planes perhaps could be use after this. Every orbiter was designed for 100 flights, a number never reached. With some modification they can transform into a single stage to orbit (SSTO) and so use for Space Tourism: orbital flights and/or visits to the ISS (currently visited at present) Replacing the three SSME by two Ramjet-Scramjet engines and firing strongers OMS engines in the upper atmosphere shuttle can reach the orbit. Shuttle would be thrown by a carrier Boeing 747 gaining speed enough to ignite de Ramjets. LH2/LOX fuel would storage in tanks into the Payload Bay. This will convert the shuttle in a fully reusable spacecraft. Previous article was written by this. User:210.220.222.140 Previous article was written by this. User:201.220.222.140

Yuck. I wanted to start to edit this but the language is too disgusting. It's like an extremely hokey PR release. And I support private enterprises in space, but this article needs to be scrapped and started over from the beginning. -User

I'm sorry for the language, it is'nt my native. I only want to express an idea probably realizable, maybe the way of make use of an existing spacecraft next to be retired, with more crew-passengers capacity that Soyuz spacecraft. If it could achieve, would be a great leap in space travels. User: 201.220.222.140

Space Shuttles are very old :/ ...do you think Space Adventures can make a maintenance similar to NASA with these machines?, sorry my english. - Jack Stevenson —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.95.18.28 (talk) 07:13, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do not lie on Wikipedia

Do NOT put things that you want to happen on Wikipedia, thinking that they will happen. Unless you can find a legitimate source that Space Adventures is launching a circumlunar flight in 2009, don't say that it will, because it won't. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.Nat682 (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

...and here we are heading into 2010 with no such lunar mission. It is advertising hype. Fraud, really. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.186.110.157 (talk) 00:27, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I've just edited out some leftover hype. To whomever from the company tries to insert promotional material here, please be aware of the policies of Wikipedia is not advertising and conflict of interest. -- Tenebrae (talk) 17:19, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Garriott, second-generation space traveler

Can people please stop changing this page to state that Richard Garriott was the first second-generation space traveler? Both the Richard Garriott page and the Sergei Volkov page contradicts this, making it fairly clear he was the /second/. While Wikipedia articles themselves are not OK references, I think we can at least ask for a reference for him being the first if someone feels compelled to claim this again. - 83.254.21.12 (talk) 21:47, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Boeing involvement

Boeing Company and Space Adventures, Ltd. have established a memorandum of agreement regarding the marketing of anticipated transportation services to destinations in low Earth orbit (LEO) on Boeing commercial crew spacecraft. Under this agreement, Space Adventures will market passenger seats on commercial flights aboard the Boeing Crew Space Transportation-100 (CST-100) spacecraft to LEO....

Boeing and Space Adventures have not yet set a price per seat for spaceflight participants, but will do so when full-scale development is under way. Boeing continues to advance its design for the CST-100 spacecraft under NASA's Commercial Crew Development Space Act Agreement. The spacecraft, which can carry seven people, will be able to fly on multiple launch vehicles and is expected to be operational by 2015.

Inquiring readers want to know!

Article should include why several people only did training. Was it that they couldn't afford the actual flight, discovered medical disqualifications, chicken out, were too dumb to complete the training, got thrown out for sexually harassing the other trainees, or what?
