Well the flight in the autum is not the goal. Its one of 2 small scale tests.
Once those are completed, they will start of the 3 unmanned full scale test where they we go above the 100km line (which marks the entry into space).
Pending their success Peter will do the manned flight.

I know it sounds crazy and like something that cant possible be done, but I have learned one thing knowing Peter for app 4 years now....when he sets his mind to it - he will complete it.
A very good example is his 50 feet submarine....
