I think you have been belatedly April Fooled by Good Sir Richard JJJ and Rowland. As it is due to launch on April 1 2012. And if you were trying too fool us you can only do that on April 1st or you are the fool also:P:rofl:. Good story though I have a lot of time for Sir Richard:thumbsup:

It is of course ridiculous, but the notion is quite engaging.
Quite funny really, I was pretty much hooked as well until i read the post that followed about it being April 1st.
Ah well, it was worth a laugh, an knowing about Bransons other ventures, it was an easy fool.

I knew you guys would appreciate it.:)
I wasn't fooled one bit. :P:P
Which I'm surprised because normally I would believe just about anything. :question: :lol:
I knew it couldn't be true as soon as the first line came up - space is not for sale to anyone (there's a term for that, I just don't know it).
Also, a planet cannot make it self bigger after the birthing process has finished.
Of course the bit about Branson wanting to buy Pluto is almost believable. :lol: He is one great guy isn't he.
That's a classic. :rofl:
I wonder how many fell for that one.
