Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic Gets FAA Clearance for Takeoff
Richard Branson’s commercial space venture Virgin Galactic is inching closer toward "all systems go."
The billionaire announced yesterday that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had signed an agreement to work alongside Virgin Galactic to grant its suborbital flights clearance for blastoff.
Six hundred people have already reserved trips at $250,000 a pop, with flights slated to commence by year’s end from New Mexico’s Spaceport America.
Anyone got a spare $250.000 to go for a burl round outer space?

Have you got your ticket yet?
Ha ha. I think I'll settle for watching other people go to space 😄

I think I'd be bored. The no gravity thing might be fun.
