Book Your Place in Space

Wild man and entrepreneur Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines unveiled his newest space ship this week in California, a passenger craft called the Virgin Enterprise.

According to the Virgin Galactice site, flights into space are scheduled to begin in 2011. For a couple of hundred thousand dollars you can spend a couple of hours in space -- without having to become an astronaut.

Their site has an introductory video that describes the ship. That movie and others like it can also be found here on YouTube.
