The article I wrote on what it takes to be a commercial spaceship pilot for the March issue of Air & Space is now available online.The piece was a ball to write--I got to try out the centrifuge at the National Aerospace Training and Research Training, or NASTAR, Center, an experience I highly recommend--especially if you can get someone else to foot the bill!
You can read the whole text of my article at the Air & Space site, but unless you pick up the printed magazine, you'll miss out on one of the best features--gorgeous portraits of spaceship pilots Brian Binnie, Mike Melvill, Pete Siebold, Rick Searfoss, and a few of the new Virgin Galactic pilots by Chad Slattery. The one shot of Searfoss that's on the site doesn't do the spread justice.
Oh, and there are a couple of shots by yours truly in there too.
