Virgin Galactic -A Space Odessey

Richard_branson_wideweb__430x283 Virgin Airlines founder and billionaire Sir Richard Branson, who describes himself as a Star Wars generation, realistic  SciFi fan (Alien and Blade Runner his alltime favorites), believes that his newest venture, Virgin Galactic, is on the ground floor of a new age of commercial space tourism.

Check out the interview link below where Branson talks about the possibility of colonising other planets, which has also been discussed by Cambridge University physicist Stephen Hawking, who has stated his ambition is to take a Virgin Galactic flight, despite his motor neuron disease. Branson compared the new space race to the early days of the internet. Branson joins Internet pioneers Esther Dyson and Microsoft founder Paul Allen in his belief that  a second great space race is under way, with different commercial entities looking at launching suborbital and orbital flights, with plans on the drawing board for space hotels and trips to Mars.

OMG. Look what I found! A Meet and Greet with Richard Branson and Elvis Costello".How cool is this, I never thought I would ever have a chance like this. If you want a chance to bid on this visit this link. www.ebay.com/virginunite. There is this item up for grabs and many others. I think the auction page says that new items go up ever week too.

I've seen the movie and is very well done. The imagination of the people is amazing. I suppose in the future, this will be the solution for such a lot of traffic.

That has to be worst written article I have ever read. The information was cool (If I understood it). But it looked like intellectually delayed middle school student wrote it.
