Flights into Outer Space

If you had the cash would you do this? It looks amazing, but pretty bloody scary...

'Once separated, SpaceShipTwo will fire its hybrid rocket and climb some 60 miles (100km) above the Earth.'

aye true enough. There was a bloke in America, who paid £10m quid to go up for 20 days or something in the proper Russian spaceship. Brilliant.

it is better than Dr Who, it is a spin off set in Cardiff, it is a more adult, Mrs Spugs will love it if she likes Dr Who that's for sure. For example on one episode a young girl has an alien inside of her and to get it out she has to have sex with men all the time!!! but when the men orgasm they die
