Feeling sentimental, my suggestions for first passengers on Virgin Galactic.

I expect the first "passenger" flight of Virgin Galactic
in 2008.
I'm knd of sentimental today, so here's my list of who should
[rightfully] fly on that first Virgin Galactic flight into space.

The Virgin Galactic will have a 5 passenger capability, so
my suggestions for first passengers are:

(1) Chuck Yeager.

(2) Jerrie Cobb (One of the "Mercury 13" female astronauts selected in the 1950's, whom NASA kept grounded.)

(3) Walter Cronkite [If he's still alive.]

(4) Sir Arthur C. Clarke [If he's still alive]

(5) The widow of Alan Shepard.

What do you think?
