And you keep claiming hardship.......

I've just seen the Mojave interview with Branson. Is that the same David Willis that was in Baghdad a few years back ?

If so, either time (or the Californian sun) has not been kind to him or he is in need of immediate medical help.

Virgin Galactic Mk2, Branson's team have learned from their mistakes.

The firm's SpaceShipTwo passenger rocket ship reached a height of 82.7km, beyond the altitude at which US agencies have awarded astronaut wings

If he hadn't signed up Mr Oldfield, he could have been taken up the Shard.

I hate it when bold decisions blow up in your face.

So the question is, will Branson be the first to make it or the first to die trying ?

 

[Lazarus]

Branson Pickle, anyone?

 

[Channel Hopper]
