Space Travel

Let's be honest. We've all thought about it. Whether or not you watched the broadcasts from the Apollo missions or were fascinated by sci-movies like Space Camp (A classic film about a group of campers who are accidentally launched into space during a visit to the space shuttle) Everyone has gone to bed dreaming about the elusive sensation of floating in zero gravity. The problem is, unless you are one of the best pilots in the world, have perfect vision, a perfect body, and graduated from Harvard with an engineering degree, you have no chance of ever becoming an astronaut. That was then... This is Now! I present, Virgin Galactic Airways:




Founded by British Billionaire Richard Bransen, Virgin Galactic is the first ever commercial space travel company. All it takes is a dream, some free time, and $200,000. As early as 2009, passengers will enjoy an exciting ride, and about 2 hours of zero-G time in space.

So What...

So What?! Are you kidding me? This is spectacular, a dream come true for those of us who have been dreaming of somersaulting across the cabin with a view of the Earth outside the window. I have compiled a list of things I think would be funny to play with in a zero-gravity environment:

1. a yo yo

2. a 400lb dumbell (i want video of me doing bicep curls with it so I can impress my wife

3. a squeeze bottle of coca-cola, so i can give someone a drink from across the room

4. a frisbee. Think of the distance you could achieve if there was enough room

5. break dancing. Just think of the move you could do in zero-g
