I think it is really cool and I hope he succeeds. He is Steve Jobs but better.

 

I think Virgin are pretty advanced as well, Branson said something similar.

Just sounds like a deathtrap waiting to happen.

 

What's Virgin?

Do they have a working rocket?

 

Space-shuttle type vehicles for now. They're aiming for replacing aeroplanes with faster, outer-space travel. But they have plans for shuttle's to the Moon and Mars, I'm sure.

 

Alright. That's pretty cool. Have they gotten them to space yet or is it more a suborbital / upper atmosphere type thing?

 

Yet to take passengers I think

 

Oh ok. It's like a sub orbital thing.

 

Good ol' exaggeration in the title.

 

Always. It's the media. I just love that he is pushing for it and I know that he does accomplish a lot of what he strives for.
