Better than anything we could have imagined and proving Sci-Fi novels and movies wrong of what the future would really behold, Sir Richard Branson is sending 8 people at a time into space as soon as next year! Having making nearly everything he has touched into gold, Branson sees a huge potential in space travel.
“I think it’s very important that we make a genuine commercial success of this project,” he told a news conference in New York.
“If we do, I believe we’ll unlock a wall of private sector money into both space launch systems and space technology.
“This could rival the scale of investment in the mobile phone and internet technologies after they were unlocked from their military origins and thrown open to the private sector.”
With already 200 booked flights, at $200,000 each, and 85,000 registered as “interested” to fly, Branson may be onto something indeed. Initial flights will be “launched” at Spaceport America located in the New Mexico desert. Six ticketed passengers and two pilot astronauts will fill the first commercially flown space ship sometime next year.
Virgin Galatic’s spacecraft, named SpaceShipTwo, is nearly complete at 60%. Testing of the space craft begins later this year.

The worlds most popular online retail store founder Jeff Bezos has released video and pictures of his ambitious venture into private space exploration. In early November of 2006, Amazon.com CEO Bezos test launched his Goddard spacecraft at an undisclosed location just east of El Paso, Texas. Bezos space company, Blue Origin, had reason to celebrate as it witnessed the fruits of its long labor watching a perfect vertical take off and a 300 ft ascension and then a smooth return to the ground. “My only job at the launch was to open the champagne,” Bezos later told the press.
Blue Origin was founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos in 2000 in hopes to bring the public into the edge of space. Estimates have Blue Origin fulfilling this vision by 2010. No word if flights will be able to be booked on Amazon.com.

If you’re going to search the web, might as well reach for the stars and use Google, literally. The Space Agreement Act, signed yesterday between Google and NASA, is more than just the stars, however. Included searchable data will be real time weather, shuttle information, and possibly data from the space station to name just a few extras.
“NASA has collected and processed more information about our planet and universe than any other entity in the history of humanity,” Chris Kemp, of NASA Ames told a crowded room of reporters Monday.
“Even though this information was collected for the benefit of everyone, and much is in the public domain, the vast majority of this information is scattered and difficult for non-experts to access and to understand.”
Now with the most powerful and used search engine behind NASA, that data should be easier to get to.
Going beyond the stars, Google will work together with NASA on complex computation problems to create a better search engine. NASA and Google will work on other projects together that on the surface wouldn’t seem to be a good fit but the outcome could be highly beneficial for all Internet users.
