AL,

Thanks for the links re the asteroid capture. Heres a link to a new press release I received today:

Unilever Buys 22 Flights on XCOR Aerospace's

UniLever Group will have a 30 second Super Bowl ad announcing a year long series of giveaways of the sub-orbital flights, then give away the first immediately following the Game. This could represent a game changer with respect to public acceptance of and support of manned spaceflight. With a huge response, a strong message could be sent to both business and political interests. Combined with NASAs avowed push for a station/habitat in cis-lunar orbit (hopefully abbetted by asteroidal capture), the year is definitely getting off to a good start.
