If you haven't already heard that Richard Branson whom is my personal favorite self made billionaire and proprietor of Virgin Entreprises, had been looking into expanding his empire to reach unimaginable lengths. He first mentioned this venture in late 2007 but today it became a reality. Virgin Galactic is the future of not only entertainment but transportation as well. The actual plane design was created in 2002 by an amateur designer but his dreams have been taken to the next step and beyond that. Branson bought the aircraft design in late 2004 and has been working on this venture since then. But forget me going on about it, ladies and gentlemen this is the first sub-orbital aircraft and according to Branson the first of many. He sees a future of suborbital flights leaving earth everyday. The maiden voyage was this week and by all means successful. Now by sub-orbital i mean that yes this is a plane that goes to space, well not very deep into space but deep enough to get a very good view of the earth. Branson intend for this to go mainstream and become commercial and I'm very certain it will. I can see families doing space vacations already. The tickets for its first actual commercial flight are already sold out and they went for about $30,000 a piece and amongst the names on the waiting list is our favorite hotel heiress Paris Hilton, Honestly Rich, keep doing your thing even in his old age he's still doing crazy stuff like this, that's why he's my favorite, Rich your grind is unknockable keep doing you.
