This might have been mentioned elsewhere, but i thought it deserved a post of its own. Richard Branson has bought the rights to use Space Ships One technology to fire two passengers into space at a time at a charge of almost $200,000 dollars. For this price you get all of 3 minutes in space! Would any of you pay for this?
There's 313 billionaires in the U.S. now, about 50 more than a year ago. 200K is nothing to them. Plenty of rock starts in the $200 million range too.
