" Welcome to PM/AM, Popular Mechanics&amp;#039; morning briefing on the top science and tech stories for today.  Photo credit: Adrian Dennis/AFP/Getty Images Virgin Group founder Richard Branson wants space to be for everyone\u2014not just astronauts. SpaceX stole the show last week in space news with the unveiling of the Dragon V2 capsule, essentially the latest and great space taxi for astronauts. However, this announcement (though a big one it its own right) over shadowed the big changes that are happening to commercial space exploration. Last week, Virgin Galactic, one of many offshoots of Virgin Group, announced an agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration &amp;quot;that helps clear the path for commercial flights of SpaceShipTwo.&amp;quot; The agreement details how Virgin Galactic&amp;#039;s space flights (actually 68 miles above Earth, which, by commercial definition, is outer space) will be integrated into the National Airspace System. So is it finally time for us all to collectively realize our longtime dream to explore outer space? Unless you have $250,000 to burn, you&amp;#039;re going to have to be a little more patient. Although this is a major step forward for commercial space flight, there are still a lot of barriers to overcome at the cross section of government bureaucracy and space exploration. However, when the potential payoff is the ability to travel off planet within the coming decades, it doesn&amp;#039;t hurt to be hopeful.
