When someone has pushing $7Billion, their definition of poverty is somewhat different from the classical one. Compared to Evil Overlord whose ill-gotten gains are fast approaching a quarter of a trillion he's as poor as a church mouse though.
The Tories sold him RBS for a quid or something.
So he does have previous. Maybe next time.

The Bearded Wonder (and Evil Overlord's for that matter) are purely a joyride for those who can afford them. TBF at least Evil Overlord hasn't pretended otherwise. The Bearded Wonder claims he's doing it to make space available to everyone (where everyone is defined as someone with $250,000 to spare) Even so out of 8 billion people there are probably hundreds of thousands maybe even the low millions willing to stump up the moolah for a 'once in a lifetime experience'
Real astronauts wear nappies.
If there was a toilet on board, it's pretty much a given I would need to go during the weightlessness bit thus missing the view I had paid quarter of a million bucks for.
Think you do get quite an interesting toilet experience in weightlessness, though.
I think interesting is probably the wrong word here.
Think you need to make the most of it, if you're going to splash out on a trip into space.
There's nowhere else in the world he could have done it, Scaled Composites the company that designed and built craft is American. China is closing the gap but at this point in history there is no other nation on Earth even remotely close to the USA when it comes to space technology.
Does he know where that water came from?
True apart from the environmental damage, the vomit comet is airborne longer and is soviet airliner tech. I think Beardie's carrier aircraft is pretty efficient and and the space plane's hybrid motor burns rubber. In no way let anyone think this post means I don't think Branson is a twat.
I think the good people at Energia might beg to differ. There tech may be 60 years old and agricultural but it still offers a reliable way of getting on orbit.
A modified airliner that flies extended push over manoeuvres to guive zero gee inside.
Fortunately he would be preceded by a vast volume of radio and TV signals which would tell the advanced culture they were meeting a smarmy cunt who deserves immediate exterminationImagine if Branson was the first human being to make contact with aliens
FTFYImagine if Branson was the first alien being to make contact with humans
Er, yeah. Well that's really not the point I was making at all. He didn't go into 'space'. He went to an altitude defined by US FAA legal terms as space.
