Citizens in Space, a project of the United States Rocket Academy,
plans to fly citizen-science experiments and citizen space explorers
on suborbital spacecraft. We have already acquired a contract for 10
flights with XCOR Aerospace and intend to acquire additional flight
from XCOR and other suborbital providers in the future.

You can find more information about Citizens in Space at our new
website, www.citizensinspace.org.

Just how much exploring can one do in a suborbital craft?

I just did a suborbital hop[*], but didn't discover anything new.

[*] That is to say, I hopped.

Experimental verification of the old saw: "What goes up must come down!"?

I'd have thought a very high altitude balloon system might be more useful
than a 15 minute hop.
