Professor Stephen Hawking says he is planning to travel into space on Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic.

The physicist and cosmologist, 75, said he had not expected to have the opportunity to experience space but that the Virgin boss had offered him a seat.

Discussing the meaning of happiness on Good Morning Britain, he said: 'My three children have brought me great joy.

'And I can tell you what will make me happy, to travel in space.

'I thought no one would take me but Richard Branson has offered me a seat on Virgin Galactic, and I said yes immediately.'

To each his own.

Imo, a huge part of the reason we’re in this mess which is rubbing up real close on open blood-shed is because we’ve long had the habit of giving passes to people we otherwise liked or respected.

So strap some rockets on his chair and light him off! Which reminds me of this joke:

The police arrested two kids the other day. One was drinking battery acid and the other was eating fireworks

They charged on and let the other off...
