When Mark Easterfield heard Virgin Galactic was offering flights into space for private travelers two years ago, he took his wife Christine down to their local pub in Cambridge, England, and popped the question: Would she go with him? It took a few pints, but she said yes. "What's great about Virgin is it's not the classic astronaut in a space suit.

...improve the undergrad experience. The renovations of Yard basements into freshman social spaces—which, like Hilles, mostly go unused—as well as of Hilles itself, are impressive aesthetic and functional achievements when considered in their own right. We imagine that the long-under-construction pub in Loker Commons will be just as remarkable. Yet the reason many of these renovations may not be immediate blockbusters is that their functional improvements do not necessarily coincide with current student preferences, although predicting student response to any campus life initiative is an understandably difficult administrative task...
