Pretty cool.

Branson may be a loony sometimes... but he's the only loony who can get me into space!!

Sentry?

Thats so cool! But, apparently I'm the only one in my store who thinks so. The other guys I work with, for some reason, think "just going into space" is lame.

How much does it cost though? Did I miss it in the article?

[PhilipClark]

Pretty sure the price tag is in the millions.

Sign me up!

Pretty sure it's not. Last I heard it was going to be less than 10k per passenger.

Wow, that's great. I must have some outdated info.

From LA Times Online:


More than 250 wanna-be astronauts have paid $200,000 for a chance to float weightless in space, which could happen by the end of this decade.

You were probably thinking of the space "tourists" that go up to the ISS on the Russian ticket. That costs 20 mil/per.

I have no interest in going into space.

I think the time is ripe for a sequel to ARMAGEDDON.
