First Reality TV Show in Space

Thats right, space tourism gets it's own show! Take THAT "Jersey Shore"!!

You would be amazed at how many people are completely unaware that "space tourists" is even a possibility, much less reality. The cost will be steep at first, but will go down over the next decade.

The new thing to ask your friends, will be "Hey, have you been to orbit yet?".
Thats a far cry from asking about Six Flags, or Disney World.

So FINALLY, a reality show I will actually watch...........

Virgin boss SIR RICHARD BRANSON has landed a new reality TV series, documenting his efforts to make space tourism a reality. Branson unveiled his VSS Enterprise spacecraft last month (Dec09) with plans to launch the first Virgin Galactic flights in 2011.

This guy is loaded. Which is good. We all discuss the private sectors, and how important they are/will be in space travel. Well, here we go!

National Geographic Channel's four-episode Virgin Galactic series will follow the billionaire mogul and engineer Burt Rutan's efforts to send 50,000 people into space over a 10-year period.

If I had billions of dollars, I would do the same thing. Why not? I mean youre not going to go broke.

No. NASA is a waste of money.

Branson might actually turn a profit.
