Space for the Rich and Risky

This artist's conception of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo during a sub-orbital flight into space cues us in to the latest plans of Virgin founder Richard Branson. According to Reuters this six-passenger vehicle will undergo test flights in 2010 and start commercial flights between 2011 and 2012. Anybody rich and risky enough to fly?

    Maybe that jar will come in handy when transporter technology is invented Missy :)

    Heard tonight that there is a line of folks willing to plunk down $200k for a few hours (and 5 minutes of weightless) of space travel. What a deal!!
