Branson and his grown children plan to be the first non-test pilots to ride in the spacecraft, about a year from now. A six-passenger spaceship owned by an offshoot of Virgin Group fired its rocket engine in flight for the first time on Monday, a key step toward the start of commercial service in about a year, Virgin owner Richard Branson said.
My Two Cents
Interesting to note in this article that Richard Branson and his children "aim" to be the first non-test pilots to ride in Virgin's passenger spaceship. Richard Branson if he does take that first ride into space will be one brave man. Also he's likely to have heir apparent's down on the ground hoping for the best (whatever that means to someone or some charity that will stand to receive north of a billion if something bad happens). Which really leads me to the conclusion � Richard Branson will have earned his title of SIR if he actually pulls this off on so many levels. From now until then (about a year from now), this will be interesting to watch.
