Yeah well, Branson's known for hyperbole. I wonder how much money he's putting behind the project?

That said . . . I wan' go!!!!!

I am reminded of the entrepreneur in Spider Robinson's "Stardance", who was responsible for the commercial exploitation of space. Maybe this -will- be the first step.

I hope so.

You had better buy TWO tickets, admiral buddy boy!

Didja notice that Branson's first spaceship is to be named the VSS ENTERPRISE?
