An incredible success after 17 years of endeavour and some setbacks. His Virgin Galactic spaceship Unity beat Jeff Bezos' vehicle to the fringes of space by a few days. He beat Elon Musk too. One of his early passengers will be an 82 year lady who decades ago was in training with Nasa for a space mission, but never got to make it. A laudable gesture.
Branson has already taken 700 deposits for future missions at USD250,000 each. What an exciting adventure awaits each!
That's this year's Christmas pressie sorted; I've already told the kids and grandkids to start saving

Wot, you think I should set up a Go-fund-me page? Seriously, you think I'm in with a chance of raising $250k if I promise never to use the B_ _ _ _ _ word again
Serious question, if money wasn't a problem, would you really go, personally I wouldn't, I went on a fairground ride a few years ago, and I havent recovered yet....
