After 5 years, space tourism a work in progress (AP) art
 


In this May 4, 2006 file photo, daredevil venture capitalist Alan Walton is seen at a space conference in Los Angeles. When a private spaceship soared over California to claim a $10 million prize, Walton was 68 and thought he'd soon be on a rocket ride of his own. Walton plunked down $200,000 to be among the first space tourists to make a suborbital thrill-ride high above the Earth aboard a Virgin Galactic spaceship. Now he intends to ask for his deposit back if there's no fixed launch date by his 74th birthday next April.
