Not bad, $50. I am not sure but maybe in 10-20 yrs value will skyrocket.

maybe contact those spaceplane pbuissness entrapernuers?

Yes, a whole bunch of business people are working on commercial space planes.

Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com fame is the latest, according to this story:

Once Thunayan and Adam and a few others have conquered earth, space will be the next frontier.

You certainly picked an "off the wall" name. it caught my attention by shure curiosity. would you use this as an info site or for futuristic adventures?

If a spaceplane ride costs $50,000 or $100,000, I should do well if they pay a 5% CJ.com affiliate fee.

I'm thinking making it into a forum, with discussion of the different companies trying to build those spaceplanes. Bezos' company is but one of many. Another is Bristol Spaceplanes, see:

For most of us, this would be the only way to get into space (unless one could afford to pay the Russian Space Agency $20 million to fly to Mir).

SpaceShipOne net/org/biz/info/us available

Then of course you risk being taken for a ride by their lawyers

$0 - chances are that the word spaceplanes will never exist

I think they are fantastic names.

Tons of potential.

The phrase "spaceplanes" already exists (see www.bristolspaceplanes.com for example).

Also, in Google:

In Overture, 625 searches for "space plane", 140 for "spaceplane" and 37 for "spaceplanes". So, it's a niche -- just speculative as to whether any of those companies will deliver commercially viable technology in the next 10 years. If they do --- ka-ching$$$$
