What do you guys think of the new Virgin Galactic flights into space

It"s awesome isn"t it, I"d love to go on that flight one day.

Uh ! If you vaguely remember Branson attempt to cross the Atlantic with a speed boat (total disaster)and also he"s Round the world trip in an Air balloon (total disaster #2), you would not be too keen to be flown above the Earth or anywhere else, for that matter !

Even better will be when Virgin Galactic actually goes galactic.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
how dull, why would i want to waste all that money for

It"s a good first step.But I"m waiting for the first commercial flights to the Moon.

I"ll wait until the price drops down a bit.

To about ten bucks.

Sounds cool, but they want $200,000 for a 2 hour trip...with only 5 minutes of that being in space. They probably fly just outside the Earth"s atmosphere then drop back in. It sounds awesome though...just not for the price. Not yet anyway.

The Virgin Galactic flight

Until it manages to get into at least Low Earth Orbit (LEO, 2 to 300 miles up), it"s simply just another high flying aircraft = admittedly higher flying than all other (known) aircraft but apart from that, nothing really special ..

Good way for some pr^ck with more money than sense to pi^s thier money up the wall.And old Branson will still be laughing all the way to the bank.
