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. Good story though I have a lot of time for Sir Richard

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.

Which I'm surprised because normally I would believe just about anything.

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. He is one great guy isn't he.

That's a classic.

I wonder how many fell for that one.
