I've no idea whether or not it's in response to today's Fox News column and last night's equivalent post (I'd like to think so), but NASA has revised their web page. Instead of saying that a viable space tourism industry is "decades away," it now says that it's "some years off."

I wouldn't argue with that.

However, it's not totally gone. One of my favorite phrases (particularly when asked by someone to give them information easily searchable on the web) is "Google is your friend."

It remains the case here. Space Daily retains the original version.

However, NASA is to be commended to the degree that they recognized their error, and its potential consequences, and decided to rectify it.

Thanks also to the folks who tipped me off to both the original page and the revision.
