all those PanAm spaceflight tickets that were sold in the 60's. If I had the cash I would do it just for the PR alone ;) Ahh, those were the days, for those of us old enough to remember them...........

all the space stewardesses in mod outfits and Velcro shoes.

"Virgin Galactic has not yet set a date for when passengers will get a ride"

Nor has Virgin Media set a rip-off date for Phorm. I hope the fly-ware goes better than the spy-ware.

Beware the bearded-one looking over your shoulder!

Either that, or the cosmic ray storm will rip a hole in the fabric of space-time and fling them down onto a parallel of Earth where everything is really really huge.

Or they'll end up flung into the future where everyone has very hairy faces and... umm...

Lets hope they fit it with good tracking devices as we dont want another 10 Steve Fossetts do we?

Saying that though, space would make the Nevada Desert look like a village green...

Is anyone still looking for that guy by the way or his is missus too busy spending his billions?

It's "Jungle Planet X Camoflage Uniform".

I guess it wouldn't sell tickets if it were called what it actually is, which is "Virgin quite high in the atmosphere-ic."

Perhaps Branson would be the first to perform an extra vehicular tropospheric walk for us... no, that would be too much to hope for.

Whatever you say about Branson or Virgin Galactic or any of the problems (it's suborbital, it's only 5 minutes of zero-g, it's retardedly expensive) associated with it, you have to admit that the idea of being able to buy a flight into space is INDESCRIBABLY AWESOME!

The one that goes - three spacemen go up the the first rocket but when it return there is only one person left - an amalgam of all three - with very strange alien abilities.

Aargh don't tell me any more! Bransonia!!

"Virgin Galactic people unveil plans to fling rich tools into space" ?

.. slow down to 5mph after 30 minutes of flight?

‘Virgin Galactic to unveil tool to fling rich people into space’

...unfortunately tho' - i think they intend to bring them back again

oh dear..

"Once it breaks free, SpaceShipTwo will fire its rockets and take six passengers on a 2 1/2 hour ride into the Earth's thermosphere."

Perhaps one might like to think about that statement! Isn't it the whole journey from start to finich is 2.5 Hrs? and after a 2+ hour ascent, SpaceShipTwo is released fires its rocket for say 2-3 minutes and then plummets like a ballistic projectile in a timeframe which is likely to be far less than that stated! go ask a red devil!

In order:-

Disposable Nappies (Diapers)

Non-Stick Pans.

EOM

I nominate "The Golgafrincham D-Ark (Celebrity)" as its terribly important for the entertainments to be ready when the rest of teh arks arrives (I vote Posh and Becks on the first flight!)

...let's get the Telephone Sanitation Engineers flung up there (one-way) while we still have the chance.
