Space Anyone?

Postby Iroquois » Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:58 am

I'm surprised nobody has posted this. Looks like world famous super rich guy Richard Branson is at it again. It looks like space tourism isn't going to be for the super rich anymore, just the moderately rich. For a small sum of $200,000 US, a SpaceShipOne rocket will take you into space for five minutes. The new company doing this will be known as Virgin Galactic. Branson hopes that the ticket price will be lowered to $100,000 after he can manage to get 3000 people to take the flight. I don't know, will it take off? Any takers?

I would rather have a ride on a rollercoaster. Longer & much cheaper too. ;)
