Riffraff Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Add this to a list of things I'd like to do. When the pricetag comes way down. It's a local venture, in Bothell Washington. Virtuoso Virgin Galactic Wiki info You’ve Explored the Far Corners of the Globe. Now, Venture into Space. Be among the world’s first space tourists to experience the thrill of sub-orbital space travel. Expected to begin in 2009, a handful of intrepid travelers will go where few have gone before. Boarding Virgin Galactic’s six-passenger spaceship, they will hurtle – at over three times the speed of sound – through the edges of the atmosphere into a universe heretofore unknown. They’ll experience the exhilarating freedom of weightlessness and the impossible-to-describe sensation of viewing our world from an otherworldly perspective.

cre8tiff Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I call BS, no way an authentic Virgin Atlantic site would look that bad. Calling Twiley! Apparently Richard Branson needs some creativity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Richard Branson needs some creativity! Website looks better in IE than in Firefox (for me at least). Besides "Atlantic" is so earthly, we're talking "Galactic."

wiegie Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I call BS, no way an authentic Virgin Atlantic site would look that bad. well, in the site's defense, it doesn't claim to be a Virgin Atlantic website. It is the website of some woman who claims to be one of a limited number of authorized travel agents who can book these flights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha, now that makes sense, but one would think that being authorized to sell something that huge would dictate a little professional marketing assistance. Who's gonna drop the dough on an agency whose website looks like a 6th-grade school project? Edited December 3, 2008 by cre8tiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hmmmm....... I can think of a whole bunch of people I wouldn't mind sending to outer space. I just might check into the pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphic on the right reminds me of the CGI every Sci-Fi film uses to show something exploding in space. You guys best not mess with my green wimmins.

You guys best not mess with my green wimmins. I know the guy that developed that algorithm for making explosions and things like smoke realistic. He has a company called Wondertouch Classic nerd, great guy. Cuts his own hair with dog clippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
