Space for the Rich and Risky

This artist's conception of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo during a sub-orbital flight into space cues us in to the latest plans of Virgin founder Richard Branson. According to Reuters this six-passenger vehicle will undergo test flights in 2010 and start commercial flights between 2011 and 2012. Anybody rich and risky enough to fly?
