First aussie woman snaps up Virgin Galactic space tickets

[Jen]

Im so jealous
Have you got a spare $280 thousand to dollars buy ya self a ticket? To fly in to space How cool would that be

Lest go guys there is still more tickets for sale
The goal is to sell at least another 200 tickets before launch - and 50,000 tickets in the first ten years of operation, though a drop in price to "around the price of a new car" may still be 15 years away.

Jen sorry to hear it wasn't you

[Robh (Rob)]

Was that the price of a return ticket?
And how much is the travel insurance?

Keep it Quiet. She who must be obeyed will be asking, " How come we 'aven't gone on that trip yet?"

Cheers Marty

lol Peter, oh i wish it was how cool would it be

[marki]

It would be very cool, however, I would want a couple hundred others to go up before me just in case . Remember what happened to Krista.

only 4000 more shifts till I can afford my space flight wwoooooooo

[rowena]

If i won and had a spare 20 million id rather go up with the russians on a soyuz!... Now that would be awesome just to be inside one of them as its going up!

you know, there'd have to be some pretty serious vomit bags attached to these things... imagine the 'in the rare case of emergency' speech? "if the shuttle blows up, hold your breath? the exits are here and here? if expelled into space, make sure you're wearing a scarf?"

i'm sure virgin will find a way to make cash out of an unplanned dip in the MERCILESS ETERNITY OF SPACE... COMMEMORATIVE STUBBIES $9.50
