...lesser known detail is that many years went by before we were actually able to fund the $10 million prize for the X-Prize. When we envisioned Space Adventures and the X-Prize, we thought basically the X-Prize would get the ships built, and then Space Adventures would fly them. But without the prize being funded, and therefore no ships being built, we said look, even though NASA won't take private citizens, maybe we?ll be able to convince the Russians. So we went and we talked to the Russians and they said Yeah, well, we might consider...
...With China planning to conduct its first ever spacewalk this week and India making noise about its own space program, it almost seems as if there?s a new space race heating up. And this comes at a time when the U.S. is retiring its shuttle program and NASA's scrambling for funding; is the U.S. in danger of falling behind? There's no question that other countries are really pushing forward, fairly significantly in some cases, right at the time when the U.S. is having what I would describe as a hiccup in its continuity...

Up until Operation Immortality, which originated purely as a promotion for [science fiction computer game] Tabula Rasa, thinking of it as a way I could tie my space game into my space flight. We wanted originally just to send some of the player data and player votes on the greatest accomplishments in humanity, and we thought it'd be cool to send some of their DNA. But what we found was that suddenly famous people from all over were going...
...Aside from leaving your DNA behind and aside from your official experiments, is there anything you've wanted to do in space that you hope to get a chance to do while you're up there? No one's asked and therefore I've never said, but there is one kind of fun thing that I'm hoping I get a chance to do. When my father was on SkyLab, it had a big central chamber with this ring of lockers all the way around the perimeter; it was just big enough that you could run around and create enough...
