Do you plan to ride aboard the Virgin Galactic VSS Enterprise?

[Fiyero]

Tickets are $200,000 for a 2 1/2 hour trip to 65 miles above the earth and back. They've already sold 300 tickets. You'll be 0.3% closer to the moon.

The ship was unveiled yesterday:

I would have gone if I hadn't blown my money on a $52K Lamborghini repair bill.

Probably not, but I learned to never say never.

I'm waiting for them to release the actual dates. If it doesn't conflict with Sunday Church meetings, then I will probably check it out.

Before I can answer the poll, I need to know: Is the Virgin Galactic VSS Enterprise a who or a what?

If you take the misses, it could be a who. Included in the trip is five minutes of weightlessness, and you two could join the 65-mile high club.

From the bits I've heard about the women coming out of the woodwork, "virgin" isn't part of his m.o.

So you're the doo-mass.

Do you know how much $200k would change my life? Try not getting a Christmas bonus with three kids on a humanities professor's salary. These tickets are an affront to human decency and I hope it never gets off the ground. Maybe we should slap a $100k luxury tax on each ticket.

But you knew that going in when you chose your profession, right? If someone has successfully and legally parlayed their skill set into a load of dough, why should I begrudge them how much they make and how they spend it?

Because it's not fair. AND YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW THAT I'M TROLLING!

It's amazing what you can see when you put a little lemon juice on a piece of paper.

Is Virgin Galactic VSS Enterprise a clever euphemism for your penis?
