steve_b Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Looks nice but will it ever happen? http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/te ... aft.virgin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Probably will happen. I keep thinking about the 200,000 or so people who have signed up to be the first passengers taken into space. I bet the tickets are non-refundable and in case of tradegy, no Virgin have no ties or responsibiliy to issue compensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 It is only 4 1/2 minutes of weightlessness and the distance away from earth that is 'officially' making them astronauts, and the flight only lasts about 2 hours. I don't see any reason why it won't happen, just don't quite get the point...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Looks impressive. I like Richard Branson, he's willing to invest and try things that are abit quirky but at the same time push the boundries of technology. He seems to know the value of money too even though he's not short of a pretty penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Impressive mock up, but doesn't say how they are going to achieve safe re-entry (no jokes please) every time they fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
