SPACE TRAVEL

The question I heard asked very recently was "should we be flying into space"  Virgin airlines have just announced their plans for the man in the street to fly to space ( albeit for heaps of money ) should this happen (environmentally) or financially or any other very good reason ?
I thought it was worth documenting for "Tiny Tuesday" but again I only looked later to find the theme was animals- so that let me out !!
Still it got me going on this macro image of a tiny model I had lying about.
