Have you SEEN William Shatner these days?
The sheer weight alone will cause the shuttle to plummet into the ocean before it even reaches space :D
Richard Bransons previous efforts for long-distance travel have ended messily (Hot air balloon anyone?) - will be curious as to how this trek to the stars progresses ;)

Amazing. Here we had a thread just a few days back in Cosmos over how the X - prize had been won, and how someone thought nobody would ever use it. Hmm. Looks like 200k in revenues already... I'll dearly love to see this company 50 years from now and what they accomplish. So much, in fact, I'm curious to find out if their stock is publicly traded yet...
