Virgin Galactic unveils spaceship

Jan 23 - Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic showed off models of a spaceship it hopes will take spacetravel mainstream. Trips will initially cost about $200,000 and will eventually go down in price. That's far less than the $20 million reported cost of businessman Dennis Tito's trip on a Russian spacecraft in 2001, considered the first space tourist. Bobbi Rebell reports.

We need to preserve this guy's DNA and create a new Richard Branson every 100 years in a lab.

Space travel. Very phallic.lol>Take all thet money that the governments spend on developing space travel and use it to eliminate world hunger first.Anyone who disagrees is an irresponsible dreamer and deserves to be shot.Id rather see an African orAsian kid getting proper medical treatment and going to school than see some stupid over educated prick flying to mars in a space craft even partially funded by tax-payers money.

@upsroyce (not trying to be a smart ass prick) not 50 years sadly, it'll be a minimum of150 years before we are done terraforming mars so it's suitable to live on, so making big havens on moon, a rock with no atmosphere, will take time. And that's if people would fund it.
