You know when you hear news like this you gotta say to yourself "God bless Sir Richard Branson". For anyone not in the know about cagillionaire Richard Branson, he is the tycoon behind Virgin Megastores, Virgin Atlantic Airways, Virgin Records, and Virgin Mobile.Anyhow, onto his latest (and to me his most important) business venture, Virgin Galactic. After licensing the technology that lifted Spaceship 1 into space, Branson constructed a similar fleet of ships. For a mere $20k you, yes you, can reserve a seat aboard one of these lil' beauts. The entire sub-orbital trip will set you back $200k, but
thats pennies for a space flight! Read more about Virgin Galactic here. Oh and don't forget to buy some space currency before you go here, since supposedly metal coins and metallic strips in our current currency becomes radioactive in space.
