Ever dream of becoming an astronaut? That dream isn't far from reality with Sir Richard Branson's new venture - commercial space travel... for anyone that can afford the 'astro'-nomical price tag of around $220,000 Australian dollars, that is. Just like his glitzy upper-class international airfares, Sir Richard's new spacecraft offers cushioned reclining seats and plenty of window views. Test flights are happening soon, with the first passenger-carrying trip in 2011. Start saving...
Sir Richard Branson unveiled his first commercial spacecraft last week.
