Oh I just found out that on Virgin Galactic Flight 03 this morning, one of the passengers was none other than Adrian Reynard.

cbsnews.com/news/virgin-galactic-launches-third-suborbital-space-tourist-flight/

Reynard produced the dominant mid/late 90s IndyCar chassis during the heyday of CART.

Later Reynard and Craig Pollock partnered with British American Tobacco to buy the assets of Tyrell and form the BAR F1 team, which later became Honda, then Brawn, then Mercedes.

On his web site, Reynard says that he was the very first person to sign up as an astronaut with Virgin Galactic in 2004. A former boss of mine also was one of the 'founders', the first 100 people to sign up. He purchased four tickets in 2004 and now it's 19 years later. I need to ask him if his flight is scheduled yet. I will go down to New Mexico and watch his flight.

COTA must have had some problems with selling General Admission tickets this year. Was in Costco. They must have had close to 1000 of these.



Online, a 3 day GA ticket is going for $475 + Fees and Tax from Ticketmaster. That's the official price.

On SeatGeek, they are available as low as $340. We are over a month out and prices are already lower that when they were first announced. Probably going to see those come down a lot more. I think maybe COTA overpriced them a bit this year.
