Thought this was a wind up but looks like it's a goer

Unbelievable Idea and surprised that's it's coming to completion

If one doesn't explode in the first 10 flights then i'll be amazed, the first few flights the passengers will have balls that's for sure

 

cool thought but i agree there will be a few disasters look at bransons hot air balloon expeditions lol

 

you've gotta admire the mad scientists vision!

 

Went to a Virgin Galactic party in Abu Dhabi after the Grand prix....

they were showing some mad videos! wonder what the duty free shopping will be like?

 

are you allowed to murder in space? as i assume no-one "owns" it therefore there are no rules?

i know that makes me sound a bit nutty but it just popped into my head

 

Seen this on the news this morning.

£120k isn't much i thought. Most premiership footballers (for example) could afford a go. Bankers, businessmen etc etc... it's not that far out of reach for alot of people!

 

I'd go if i had the cash

 

I personally wouldnt go for £120. Space is something that scares me to death as i cant quite get my head round it.

Certainly within reach for many people though im sure. Its only a couple of weeks wages for some.

 

but why? Why put your life at risk for an adrenaline rush or to say you've been to space! I'd be waiting till it's had at least 100 trouble free flights before I went!!

 

agreed there is no way id be going outer space lol i especially wouldnt be going on the same flight as knightrider just imagine you get there and ur like phew made it then he starts popping everyone off with his no murder rule pmsl

 

You my friend are barking mad!

What a bizarre thing to think about.... Anyone in mind?!

 

lol at alangti

na no-one in mind, it was (scarily) the first thing that popped into my head!! hmmm perhaps i need help!

seriously tho, what laws apply up there?

 

: cry:

 

i wouldve thought you could get away with murder in space tbh
is there not parts of the oceans were no laws apply? so you could basically get away with muder?

 

we going ?? sounds like a good trip

 

dunno tbh, easy to get rid of the evidence in space tho, throw them in one direction and they will just keep going at that speed forever

 

Knightrider you have issues,but yeah if I had the cash would go

 

Branson was a great man, but that was another life

 

Your some baby you like

id imagine no laws at all regarding murder ect but flying your spaceship id imagine there will be laws of some sort!

 

So if you murdered someone at 35,000 ft in a Boeing over International waters you could get away with it????

I'm pretty sure the plod will be waiting for you when you landed.

As with the spaceship 2 I'm sure it would take on the same jurisdiction as its country of origin.

I'm pretty sure If the aircraft is in international airspace or just space then the law of the country where the aircraft is registered applies.

maybe

 

can i hav 2 tickets

 

I believe the laws of the ships country of origin would apply. Same as a murder in the middle of the sea

 

What if someone built a spacecraft on the moon? Its origin would be the moon?

 

Which has an American flag sticking out of it. The yanks claim sovereignty of the moon therefore yank laws would probably apply
