You've got to hand it to Sir Richard Branson. The Virgin mega-tycoon is living proof that doing your own thing, thinking big, and being slightly crazy can truly pay off.Not only is he the head honcho of an uber-chic airline (Virgin Atlantic), not to mention a thriving music biz (Virgin Records), he's now offering the chance for the average (super-rich) Joe to head into outer space!
Mr. Branson will soon be offering trips to outer orbit via a an actual spaceship, that will allow you two hours of hovering over our beautiful planet, while experiencing zero gravity as you float about the vessel. The price tag? A whopping $200,000 per passenger! (I'm OK looking up at the moon, thanks though).
He's also charting new "green" territory by introducing the first jet run on bio-fuel. Some environmentalists are protesting, but here's to hoping the crazy-cool Brit has the right idea!
