Richard Branson does it again!
"SIR Richard Branson has unveiled a mock-up of his Virgin Galactic spaceship, vowing to do his part to make space travel a reality for millions of people.
SpaceShipTwo, a vehicle being built in California's Mojave Desert, has technology that could also be used in aircraft and could eventually allow people to travel between London and Sydney in half an hour, Branson said at a news conference.
... Branson said "$200,000 is obviously still too expensive, but we've got lots of pioneers willing to pay"...
As part of its goal of making space travel more accessible, Virgin Galactic plans to offer group rates and wants to launch a reality television show and a lottery that will offer winners space flights. Virgin Atlantic Airways' frequent flier program also allows members to accrue points toward future space travel."
Richard Branson is amazing! This is so typical of the guy, check the link below :

What is however interesting is that he is making grandiose claims of fighting green house gases.
This is probably the most unnecessary release of greenhouse gases into the Environment.
Have to agree with that!
But what I think the guy is a true visionary! Nothing stops him. From hot air ballons around the world, to Virgin Atlantic and now Virgin Galactic!!! He started the company on his own and he still seems to be as ambitious as he was when he was young.
He doesn't need to say nothing about himself - his life itself is an inspiration.
