Yes....but...
...I don't want to be a wet-blanket, but "A" doesn't necessarily
lead straight to "B" in this high-tech field.
The SS1 was and still is an "experimental" craft.
Even the larger SS2 will require numerous "test flights",
at perhaps over a million dollars per attempt.
I say "attempt" because SS2 is not a guaranteed success,
just ask Tom Brosz or Gary Hudson...and remember there
is always "Murphy's Law".
Still...I predict that within 3 years, a private manned-spacecraft will
top the 100 mile-high mark.
