   Hospitals in space

   - If cheap space travel becomes available to the masses, will there be outsourced hospitals in space staffed by third world doctors?
   
   - If cheap air cargo via mega-blimps becomes a reality, won't it be possible to outsource construction work to low-wage countries? Build bridges, buildings in Pakistan and send them over by air mail.
   
   - Will spammers in spaceships broadcast satellite signals to every living room on Earth?
   
   - Will recreational boaters in space dump a can full of nuts and bolts into the atmosphere, making the sky light up and causing severe electromagnetic interference?

   Will someone with a 5 MW laser and a small rotating mirror target Dorpus from space and put an end to these pointless off-topic postings?

   If you want to see what it was like to be there for all three of the historic flights of Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne, check out the DVD, "Mojave Magic: A Turtle's Eye View of SpaceShipOne" at www.DesertTurtle.com. These guys did a great job of creating a real "you are there" experience. Even my kids love it!
