Anyone want a ticket to the stars?

Found an interesting article on the future of commercial space flight, not exactly holidays to other planets quite yet, but interesting nevertheless:

www.bbc.co.uk...

this is just an article about virgin and their upcoming space flights..

not sure why you put it in alien and ufo's forum?

Cuz when we begin trips to other planets, we'll be aliens .

This is awesome!...thank you for bringing it to my attention......Richard Branson...is an extremely wealthy business man...who is smart and innovative.....I wonder...how much the tickets will cost.....I would go ...if I could afford it.

Branson and his pals have been saying "within 2 years" for a decade at least. Don't hold your breath.

Also, IMHO, I agree with the poster above that there are way better forums on ATS that this thread belongs in besides Aliens & UFO's. This thread does not belong here.

Mods?

Sad, but true... My best guess is that he'll have the first actual passenger flight around 2015, but I doubt it would be any sooner. I'd love to be wrong though.
