So, it was unveiled yesterday. It looks fancy, and from the specs, it's damn powerful. I hope this doesn't just turn into an elaborate publicity stunt. I trust Richard Branson to take space tourism / travel seriously.

How much you wanna bet Shuttleworth will be traveling on one of these in the near future?

Richard Branson is one of my heroes, he has vision and the courage to make them reality. Burt Rutan is also a frickin genius. On a scale of 1 to 10 of awesomeness, virgingalactic is an 11. :guitar:

There are only 2 companies I am OK with being a monopoly. Virgin and Google.

Branson loves the media and now he is a hero while the true hero is actually Burt Rutan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Rutan).
