Well I have always thought that I would go with Virgin Galactic if I ever won millions on the lottery.

Probably still would. Yes it would be squeaky bum time for sure. But life is a continual hazard.

YOU CRAZY *******! how much hazard do you need for a 1/4 of a mill? couldnt you be sated with tv footage, a bungee jump, and buy us a cf?
wouldnt you want to spend it ALL? at least go with the odds, as far as im aware spacex arent manslaughterers

I would only consider it if terminally ill or almost ready to die of old age. A young chimp like yourself should enjoy a long life first.

Nah! I need to go to as high as I can! I would never do a bungee (would frighten me to death lol).

Centre forward would be purchased as requested!

Well, agreed there would be risks.

As for me being a young chimp :lol: Do you not remember my great grandfather went up for a joyride (not that he had much choice!) and came back none the worse for wear and even got inflight peanuts!

...that paypal monkey can bankroll it himself if he so chooses, and they went with solid from the off so way ahead.
if you had the doe and the urge which brand would you go with?

something didnt add up with an earlier comment and now this... a bit of googling suggests to me that SpaceShipTwo doesnt use liquid fuel, its a hybrid of soldi fuel and liquid oxidiser. meanwhile SpaceX, indeed more advanced sending up stuff orbit, uses liquid fuel.

and its dough, as in bread, not doe, as in deers.

Well I doubt he would be allowed to take passengers until he got his safety certificate! And then it would be as risky as anyone else.

Would you say that all the private space companies aiming to get passengers into sub orbital flight are not financially viable.

I'm not privy to the financial numbers, but todays setback won't (in my opinion) be the end of Virgin Galactic.

so thats alright then. buy the cf first tho yeah? oh an a wrb. ta. bon voyage.

Remember him? He is a hero of mine.
