I heard tickets are over $100k

Also I’ve seen people complaining and saying the billionaires should do something else with their money. It’s their money. They can spend it however they wish

They should spend their money on hookers and blow instead, amirite??

When they get a billion dollars, they can spend it however they like. Give it all to charity. Until then, they can feel free to STFU. 

Now, the fact that Virgin got government money for its facility is debatable, but blame the politicians for creating the ridiculous system that allowed it to happen if it offends you.

If you don’t go to space then I’m thinking you’re not as rich as you say you are

My favorite is when billionaires actually do give a lot of it to charity or to support humanitarian causes like Gates does, they're still attacked for trying to "play God" or "exert influence" or "subjugate the poors" etc. Legitimately insane things to say about someone trying to invest their own resources to save or improve another human's life.

I'm gonna wait a while until many people come back safely. 

10 years from now? For like 35k? I'd do it.

$35k would be a booming market for retirees. Doubt it'd get that low even in 10 years though

Dunno. If there are multiple competitors, maybe. I'm thinking I have to buy 2 tickets. Kinda hard not to take the wife.

I always hate the argument that his money could be better spent elsewhere.  The money he’s spending for this is going somewhere.  There’s likely many of people who are being paid to help with this, many products being used, and other things.  It also likely helps with future exploration and travel.  Lastly, if he were to just give away a bunch of money, it may help in the short term, but likely not long term.  Give a man to fish idea.

Have there been any photos released of earth from Branson’s flight?  I watched the video but wasn’t impressed with what was visible on video.  I don’t have a billion dollars to go check it out myself.

@EagleVA already said he would not go if offered a free space flight.  That’s how you know he is a fraud.

Gotta show him a YouTube video (aka Documentary) of how safe it is, then maybe he’ll go.

Of course it's safe. What could be safer than sitting in a model spaceship in a Hollywood studio?

Always a bunch of losers trying to drag people back to the dirt while their betters literally reach for the stars.

It's all part of his 10-15 year plan.  He proactively knew that space travel was going to be an option at some point.  He has been trolling everyone on here for that entire time span knowing that somebody would open him a Gofundme account.  Boom.  Free trip of a lifetime.  Brilliant.
