  5. More people will fly suborbitally than orbitally & more suborbital launches than orbital launches will occur every yr, beginning in 2010.
  6. Who will be the first suborbital payload specialist? The answer will be known next year.
  7. Thinkin how fast next-gen suborbi is about to advance. Hey isn't 2010 one of those sci-fi yrs? Go Virgin & Blue & XCOR & Masten & Armadillo!
  8. Blue Origin has picked 3 pathfinder science payloads and PIs to fly during test missions--they are the first suborbi firm to do so.
  9. Tell friends they get suborbi_science news here, at this tweet. And expect a little out of the blue news here sometime later today/tomorrow.
