Personally, I give Branson a huge .
He's moving the private sector in new directions. About time one of the "elite" does this.

Just my 2 cents,

And then there was two.

Personally I think Virgin Gallactic will be the more successfull one...since Space Adventures has yet to reach sub-orbit. But never the less, competition is always good.

Heres there base, and there ship.
