Commercial Enterprise will win the Space Race. I like that idea too. To me, Virgin Galactic is as close to that as possible
to that idea as anyone has gotten. I agree, we do have a long way to go.

Quick, everyone, get out your piggy banks! We're buying shares in QANTAS (THE major australian airline, for those
who don't know).

Actualy, at 5.640 AUD a share, that's pretty cheap.

Because I am expecting the price to go through the roof from this, you can get real-time (-20 mins) quotes here:

That's only on the australian market though. Maybe more expensive or cheaper on the berlin market and so on.

Based on the volumes I'd say that the major companies are actually shorting Quantas, so the price is more likely than not
going to be going down in the next few days ;)

By space race I`m guessing you mean the race to the moon. Well Technicly The US won, but the Russions did launch
the first man made satillite, the first man in space, the first lunar probe, and the first space walk. On the other hand
The US did do the first rondeveus, the first rondeveus and dock, the first man on the moon, and the first golf game on
the moon. Also between 1960 and 1969 the US had alot more hours in space than the Russions did. So it all depends on the point of veiw.
