  • lol space is virgin territory

  • It has been over 40 years since a human being first set foot on the moon, isn't it about time for a few more people to visit space? The only reason NASA hasn't gotten further in the last 40+ years is that unlike when they had a President pushing them, they are being "careful" now. Go Richie!

  • This guy has my vote for coolest person on the face of the planet.

  • Here in Ireland-there are a few nouveau riche or just grotesquely rich 'parvenu space cadets'-who believe they fit the 'bill' =hint. Jesus wept! From Edwards AFB ; Jet PL of Pasedena; and Ames Research-south of SF---to eastern space range at Cape Canaveral-I have 'bumped into' a few real 'cutting edge' heroes;and know a fake -when I see or hear them. Maurice Aherne aka liebewitz in Ireland

  • 9 g is less vomit inducing than watching wealthy civilians(many I presume non-pilots) infer on this clip-that they are somehow visionary or cutting edge. I can accept Chuck-and Richard B-for their respective talents---but who the hell are the others? Isn't there a ski resort open somewhere for them?

  • First man in space: Yuri Gagarin.

  • He's a genius!!!

  • Persian Dude: Sir Richard Branson, THIS IS MADNESS!!!

    Sir Richard Branson: Madness?......THIS IS SPAAAAAA.........CE TOURISM!!!...

  • it's scary to think about how much money he has
