Sir Richard takes Virgin into Space
quizdog writes "The latest issue of
Wired has a story on Sir Richard Branson and the history of the Virgin Empire, focusing on his latest venture of partnering with Scaled Composites and Burt Rutan to bring the
X-Prize-winning SpaceShipOne hybrid rocket technology to the point where paying passengers can slip those 'surly bonds' of the atmosphere. Starting
at just $200,000 a pop - any chance of a volume discount?" We first mentioned this a while back, but Wired's coverage is nice to see as well.
Does this make him a member of the 600-mile high club?
If only Branson would take a virgin into space... what bliss.
No, fatass -- in fact, you're gonna have to pay extra.
Sounds like a promising XXX title. :)
My rights don't need management.
No, Slashdotters... he didn't take one of YOU into space... they are referring to a company in the article.
I thought: Gee, I wish I was that lucky geek!
And on that note let the bad sex jokes begin...
