Virgin boss in space tourism bid Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson has signed a £14m agreement which will see his company take passengers into space. The British entrepreneur is having five "spaceliners" built in the US by the team behind the SpaceShipOne vehicle. The California-based rocket plane became the first privately developed carrier to go above 100km in June. Sir Richard says it will cost around £100,000 to go on a "Virgin Galactic" spaceliner, and the first flights should begin in about three years' time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At a £100,000 ago I think I will wait till EasyJet start doing this route.

Re: Re: Virgin boss in space tourism bid we'll never learn! hsbc talked me into a gold card couple of weeks ago :doh:
Haha, thats pretty Just imagine if you win the lottery (or make a fortune) you could take a trip to space!!
I like Branson, he's should have got the lottery. His space ship is going to be called The Enterprise. Who will have the first space shag? "That was out of this world baby"
ferry corsten was telling us on friday about how he did the trips in the jets where they plummet towards the earth and you become weightless! sounded amazing!
