Virgin Galactic

Space is Virgin territory - with these words in 2009 the quest to make space a bit more closer will become a reality. Branson's Virgin Galactic will take 6 paying customers to an altitude of 72 miles at a speed of Mach 3 allowing for 6 minutes of weightlessness. Certainly an adventure for those able to afford the $200,000 price tag.

So basically at this stage this is simply a stunt but someone has to be brash enough to get it going and I am totally behind it. By turning space into something that can be reach can only mean that in 50 years it will become common place. Imagine those first airline travelers! Anyway I am sure it will have its growing pains but lets up that it works and someday maybe even I can see the curvature of the earth
