THE BEEBS ON SPACE BIZ: The BBC takes a moment out of their wall-to-wall World Cup coverage to offer up this brief story on space commerce, specifically space tourism:

“If more and more people go up it will get cheaper. Why can’t we have people travelling in space in five years?
“The technology is there. All we have to have is the will.”

I have to ask, though…is Jacques Vallee of “Mythospace” the Jacques Vallee of Passport to Magonia? Hmm.
