Virgin Galactica

Yeh, i want to go on spaceship one into space in 2009 but it costs $200,000 i think it will be well cool :D

Tbh when I went on their website, It looks all nice and spiffay, but when you read anything it isnt as good as it first seems.

And it's Virgin Galactic rather than Galactica, I think.

It'll mostly be celebritys going i'd think.. but would be a nice experience.

I gotta say, I wouldnt ever want to be on the first person on the first flight. I would want a fair few people to go on flights before me, to make sure its safe. And Richard Branson said he will obvi go on the first flight....but surely, thats a silly thing to do!

Not really as it'll all be tested etc, they're not gonna get someone to pay £200,000 if they have possibility of death.

People pay to go on aeroplanes and they have a possibility of death. And Im sure as hell they go through a alot of testing :P! :rolleyes:

[RedCrisps]

yeh lets get a few tests outta the way first, just so i can see it is safe =]

2009!? Woah! Will it just circle the moon or something, cos there isn't really alot to do on the surface of it :p

Thanks for the site, looks like Norman Foster will be designing the spaceport (sounds weird saying that!). This hasn't had much media coverage at all :S

I would of said a car instead of an aeroplane. An aeroplane is one of the safest means of transport.

Yeah aeroplanes go through alot of testing, but space travel is a whole different kettle of fish. I think it looks like a waste of money. think what you dould do wth £100,000
