    Talking Going into Space

    Richard Branson has just shown to the world his aircraft that will launch people into space. It will be ready within the next two years.

    It costs $200,000 approx £100,000 per person and can hold 6 people and 2 members of crew.

    Branson is reported to have said - "Let's go 20 years forward, if all of this goes to plan, I hope that we will have a hotel in space; and in that hotel I hope we will have small spaceships that can go around the Moon - an excursion,"

    So would you pay £100,000 to go into space if you had the money ????

    I would love to go to space if it would be safe and my body would be able to hold the speed.

    Nothing more beautiful than seeing the earth and moon up close, but it is a lot of money hehe

    So lets get this right......

    you give £100,000 to a guy thats failed on more than one attempt to fly a hot air ballon (pritty basic), to fly you into outer space (not basic at all)

    if i had the money id pay £50,000 just to watch the in flight saftey video....

    'in the event of an impact, you body will explode due to the lack of atmosphere and be sucked throught the broken windows, here, here and here' lol

    anyway if he does it for £100,000 stavvi (east jet boy) will run a service for £49,999, wont be an inflight meal though lol
