Virgin goes deep

Richard Branson is expanding his empire further into the sky with Virgin Galactic.

He is building a $225 million spaceport in New Mexico for commercial flights in space.

"Virgin Galactic also revealed that up to 38,000 people from 126 countries have paid a deposit for a seat on one of its manned commercial flights"

Personally... I definately do NOT want to be one of the first people to take one of those flights. I would prefer to be buried in the ground rather than have my ashes scattered over the ocean a couple of seconds after I ignite into a fiery inferno.

"The Virgin Galactic executive in charge of marketing the space flights, said the 100 founder members were committed to "stepping up to the plate" and boarding a flight early in the operations."

100 founder members my ass! I will bet my left testi that the "100 founders" are going to be very worried looking mexicans. -- ABC
