Haha, I'm actually from Austria and I had heard about that whole "buy a suborbital flight at the super market" thing a while ago but I have totally forgotten about it. However, I do now remember, that a couple of friends had approached me (because I would be the local space geek) and asked questions about it. After I had read that the ride was supposed to be with rocketplane I had told them, that I would rather buy a ticket for less money at either XCOR or Virgin Galactic for less money and with a greater chance of actually flying.
(Not that I have that amount of money anyway.... :( ... )
On a Student Ambassador trip to Australia (of all places) in '07, I saw posters promising something similar. I wonder if it was the same company?
Great video guys. Missed it live :(
/cheers
