Richard Branson Unveils Cool New Way to Die


Today British millionaire Richard Branson unveiled his new craft that will take people into outer space, and almost get them back. The spaceship will take passengers who pay $200,000 more than 60 miles above the earth's surface. It couldn't come at a better time, seeing as we now have a giant surplus of fuel. And don't worry - it's equipped with airbags.

Today blogger Julius unveiled his latest blog entry for you to waste 30 seconds of your life on. His much needed contribution to the existing media coverage surrounding Scaled Composites latest aircraft unveiling contained a startling revelation: Julius doesn't think it will work. His opinion should be taken seriously by all. After all, he is a blogger. His latest post couldn't come at a better time, seeing as we have very few other blogs available to read on the Net.

Julius may not be a full blown idiot, but he's uncomfortably close to meeting the requirements.

As for the sarcastic comment about having plenty of fuel - we do. The spaceship half of this vehicle runs on a fuel that is primarily ground up , used tires.

It may just be a blog, but would it really be so bad to have half a clue about the topic before rushing to the keyboard to bang out a paragraph or two?

What a waste of a remarkable communication tool.

Well many people are mad about your post...

But despite its sarcastic nature (that may have offended most), there is serious truth to this issue:

This is a very dangerous thing. The odds of them flying 500 people without a serious accident are (even just going on NASAs space record) pretty low. And this aint NASA either.

I love space exploration (visit my blog on rocketry if you want), but lets not deny it will be very dangerous. I only hope that after the first few deaths, we dont just give up.

"Not a full blown idiot" is kind of a complement especially coming from someone who ( judging by his name) is an angry person.
