Good for you Branson.

Commercialization of space is our gateway to the Solar System.

Well, Branson might be able to PAY to have someone else build him a spaceship, but I warn you now, DONT EVER BUY HIS VIRGIN MOBIL CELL PHONE.

I USED to have one, but about every 3 to 4 days I’d come home and have a recording of some SPAMMER chick named SIMONE on there trying to sell me more time, a new phone, some of this, some of that, t-shirts, you name it they telemarketed me for it.

I called several times and asked Virgin NOT to call my house and they refused. Told me it was part of the contract.

I said “fine” to the operator one day, “I want you to listen to this”. AT that moment, I put the VIRGIN MOBILE cell phone on a cement block, picked up a 12 oz framing hammer and wacked it so hard, pieces went flying. (the cement block also didnt survive)

Told the operator that was the sound of their phone being hammered into oblivion and to canx any remaining time and min I had left and dont ever call me again.

To my joy, I dont believe I’ve heard Simone since.

Sorry to get so far off topic here, but anytime I see this crap about Branson, I just have to figure he paid for it by annoying me inside my home, and thats not acceptable to me.

My only question with this guys is, why name everything Virgin? Seems bizarre.

If I won the lottery (of course, that requires playing the lottery), I’d be in line, too.
