Such a catchy name, how could anyone ever some up with something so AWESOME sounding?
Also, the first launch is set for Septemeber!...this actually IS cool. New Mexico & the rest of the world is well on the way to having commercial spaceflight.
I bet you will have to be hella rich to enjoy that.

Original tickets are going for $200k...projected to fall to $10k soon.
This is going to bring MILLIONS to our sad little economy in New Mexico, THANK YOU Bill Richardson!
Oh only 10k? Not bad. ::)
It's funny how you applaud America for this, when it's owned by a British guy :P
AntiVirus, remember that Californian dude that went up with the Russians for like $10million? $10k is ALOT cheaper
rabbit, Branson owns Virgin Galactic, he doesn't own the spaceport. The spaceport is property of New Mexico & will accommodate more than one spaceflight company. There are people setting up shop to have rocket-races even.
We can't launch a rocket into space withought a bunch of risks and even then things can go wrong and people are thinking about this? Give me a break.

They'd be going out with a VERY literal bang.
