RE...Branson...same ol, same ol...except he is now following up on Will Whitehorn's comments RE launching satellites.
"He also said in the future Virgin Galactic would be able to send satellites into space."
What have I been telling you Folks?
That is the plan...PERIOD!
Someone ask him if the satellites will also eventually be carbon neutral...Whitehorn says space is very difficult to pollute...they got a jump on things, eh?
HOGWASH!!!
I do love the new spacecraft pics...beds and all.
The flights last for a few minutes...what's the plan?...the "100 Kilometer Club" awaits...I guess!
Can't wait to see pirated video of Martha Stewart getting cozy with her bunkmate...AARRGHH!!!
