With Sir Virgin set to unveil a new mothership in just 18 months, rich, fat tourists could be launched into space for only $200,000 a pop!

Space is 'the final frontier that is so essential to the future of civilisation on this planet', Sir Richard said.

A drunken Sir Richard Branson shows off his new and innovative windowless SpaceShipTwo.

WhiteKnightTwo takes the Virgin Galactic vision to the next level. He said the spaceships would also be able to launch small payloads and satellites into orbit at a relatively low cost. Branson was recently in the headlines a few months back talking about how he's reducing his airlines' carbon footprint. But, one must wonder how flinging a few rich fatties to 50,000 feet for five minutes leads the way towards that goal.

None other than the AMAZING Keith Olbermann helps this guy pimp his BS. Are we going to let our security be dictated by whatever crappy online "terror videos" hucksters like this put out?

It's so odd, isn't it, how some people get away with claiming that there is a vast global muslim conspiracy to enslave the west through their massive religious affinity group (you know those muslims, always looking out for their own!) and banking strength?  And you know of course that Arab oil money controls Hollywood and the rest of the media!  I'm starting to think these MOOOOOZLIMSSSS are so powerful they didn't even NEED Bush to let them make it happen on purpose...

By Mark Weisbrot, AlterNet
