Virgin plans to take paying passengers on sub orbital space flights in 2-3 years time using a fleet of specially commissioned Rutan craft, based upon Bert Rutan’s recent X-prize craft.
The latest Richard Branson aviation company will be called Virgin Galactic and the small “space planes” will carry a livery similar to that of Virgin Atlantic.
Register your interest now if well heeled, each flight comes with 3 weeks astronaut training prior to lift off. 😮

A mate sent me a quote from Branson just now saying that It will be crewed by existing Virgin Atlantic pilots. I find myself in the most wonderful career choice situation…do I want to continue where I am, fly A380’s or crew the first passenger space service!!! This is one of many reasons why working for VS is so exciting!
