Suprised a company like Virgin can do it though?

[DJ-Ali]

Doubt it. Unless you've got a lot of money.

Dude its only 75 grand for Half flight (an hour less than full which is 2.30 in air)

Besides weve been saving up for a year and you pay like every few months... its like a car, but lets say 20 cars. It sounds alot but weve gave up 2 holidays wed usally have and av got nuthin planned till 2009. Its a pretty good sacrafice.

Virgin can do things like this because it's a big company with money, although i do not believe this guy that he has booked a flight.

[~Hilton~]

Dude its only 75 grand for Half flight

Lol, "only"

[Caution]

Well we have booked our holiday for 2009... Its with virgin galactic, were going into space by rocket! Its gonna be great! +D ive already packed my bags. First we go to america for a week, then we go to virgins man centre then virgin galactic, we go through 3 days of training then liftoff! Its gonna be awsome.
You've packed you're bags for a holiday you're going on, in 2 years?:rolleyes:

[hit1]

Float around, five minutes? You undergo 3 days off training and then go on a rocket blast out the earths atmosphere and high into space, then come down... And it takes 3 hours and now we get to the weightless part were you can look down at the earth, or see amazingly clear close views of the moon... Its easily worth the money... And i packed my bags because a holiday like this isnt one to get all cranky about. its space, ya know up there, not some crap place like france were they all eat frogs or estonia were they live in mud...

I don't understand what there is to train for? its not like your going on a mission to mars or anything =l I know you have to train a little bit because the lack of gravity like stretches your bones or something lol but why 3 days :s

[cocaine]

space travel for people.. not yet. it would cost a lot?

[lSander]

Im sure they dont, i mean estonias not your house is it?. I seriously doubt youve booked a flight especially since you said youve already packed your bags. If you have take a picture of the tickets ;).

[ColyTom]

I have a feeling that you're lying about going to space.

Ok well heres what the manual said

for day 1 and 2 you will take tests on gravity, and on day 3 it will be all to do with going high speeds and nausa and stuff.

Please post a pic of the manual and the pages where it says this stuff. It'll show people if you're telling the truth, or not...

[Kenneth]

How do you have the paperwork about the flight?

[Lubricant]

I highly doubt you have tickets. Go play with your Action Man Desert Extreme.

[Eckuii]

Feel weightless?
Jesus you'll feeling armless and legless with that amount of money.

[Dan2nd]

Thats pretty strange because in the video Mr Branson said the air craft will make an air launch instead of a ground one to stop any nausa effects..

[Ashhizzle]

>.< Yeah, and i'm acctually jesus... Not.

Pic of anythign that proves this?

[benjamin]

[shiver]

yay4ulying.

[Luckyrare]

*sniffs* *sniffs* can anyone smell that? bull **** x)

[PriceTags]

His facts and figures don't sound that farfetched.

"Branson has suggested an initial ticket price of US$200,000 for a suborbital tourist flight, including a week of flight training.[1] Although the initial deposit is set to be $200,000 for the first 100 to fly, the next 900 will pay between $100,000 and $175,000; all passengers after that will pay a deposit of only $20,000 each."

[-Soph-]

I don't believe you..

[Markness.]

gawd what a anti-climax...

"hey, look its earth from bloody 5 million miles away", by the time you stop saying 'wooooow' its time to go home

[Shawnstra]

If this is real show us some prove. And if its meant to be a lie, at least lie more convincingly? :rolleyes:

[Simon]

With a set payment of $200,000, and a minimum refundable deposit of $20,000 you can now make your reservations to experience the ultimate adventure.

Thats what it says on there site... Dunno if its been posted.. but if you ask me its a waste of money, id prefer to donate it to a charity where your definatley safe ;-) x

[GTA-Andy]

Si in that case you might aswell not walk out your door, nothing is safe It's just life without a risk whats the point?

Correction; 3 days of training, flight attached to mothership, release from mothership, orbit around at 180,000 for 5 minutes, back into atmosphere.

I know this from one of my magazines.

[DaveTaylor]

i personally hope you die &#172;_&#172;

[Ashhizzle]

i personally hope you die ¬_¬
;o This threads lasted a while :P Anybody planning on going?

[Metric.]

I doubt your parents have $200 000 lying around to send you into space for a few minutes.

Also, Virgin is PLANNING to send people into space by 2009 and if they can't, they keep your $20 000
