Virgin Galactic... Would you go?
 

If you had the means.... and possibly some of you do have the means, would you be one of the first people in the history of mankind to do this?

This entire 8 min clip is worth watching.

If I had the means... Hell yes!
It would be a most exciting ride.

Gotta hand it to Richard Branson. Worth an absolute fortune, but still works on many BIG new and exciting projects.



He should be in charge of the national lottery over here also, but of course they blocked his move because the idiots running it now are making far too much money out of it. Disgrace to be honest!

Reason I ask is because they are now actually taking reservations for flights which will commence in 2011 once the testing has been completed, pre-bookings are being taken which will secure a seat now. I am able to refer anyone to an authorized seller.

The pre booked people will be part of a Pioneers club who holds events all over the world, the last one was this past weekend at Necker Island, Sir Richard's private island.

Got the money? ;)

Not too many people would?

Yeah I'd go, deep in the ocean on a sub, this would be the other direction, if I can ever afford

I would most definitely do it....But I would want to make sure that people didn't die on it.

Sure if I had an extra 250 k kicking around gathering dust

that would be a thrilling adventure!! great video Chris :thumbsup

Does the video explain what the trip involves? Last I heard, it was basically like a trip on the vomit comet. A few minutes of weightlessness on a luxury jet. If it is a real trip to space and he has the hotel up there, I'd be on board.

It's probably for people who already have everything their money can buy.

no, I think I would donate the money before I risk my life in such trip.

I know a guy in the industry who already signed up to fly. Curious to see if he'll make it public or not.

Or people who have always dreamed of doing such a thing and will spend whatever it costs to do it.

nope, still plenty of shit i need to see here first. plus, I always have that thought in the back of my head.. what if something goes wrong... at least with a plane there is a chance of surivial. a small one, but still a chance.

now, if there were stations on mars and the moon, i would 100% go and move there. but just a trip to go hang out in space doesn't do it for me.

gotta give it to the man.. pioneers rock..!!
