To Infinity and Beyond!

For decades the earth had been "shrinking" due to the fact that we can reach different corners of the planet in a fraction of the time than it took in the previous decade. Well now one company is taking it a step further, outer space. The Virgin Company (as in Virgin Airways, Virgin Games, Virgin Radio, Virgin Mobile, etc.) is now offering trips into to space under the newest company Virgin Galactic. For a meager $200,000 you can secure your seat on a plane ride that reaches heights of 68 miles over the earth's atmosphere.

This might not mean much to the average person but to geeks...uh, folks like me, THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE. Its the next BIG thing in history and 1 more thing I gotta do before I die. The project has been in the works for 5 years and the first real flight date is unknown but check the video to see how close this reality is.
