"SpaceShipThree is planned for Scaled's tier 2 manned space programme, while the nine-person SpaceShipTwo is part of the current tier 1b programme.
"The suborbital three-crew SpaceShipOne (SS1), which won the $10 million Ansari X Prize last October, was developed within Scaled Composites' tier 1 programme.
"'If the SpaceShipTwo service is successful we will develop SpaceShipThree, which is orbital,' says Whitehorn." (Via Future Hi.)
I'm saving my money for the Earth-Mars cycleship.
