Fancy a trip to space…have you got $200,000…
…Mr. Branson today unveiled the latest venture (into the unknown), the Virgin Galactic.
Not only will this be very popular with the stars, they will be literally heading into the stars, as this amazing piece of technology will be heading off on the most expensive journey of a lifetime for those who can afford it. Hopefully Mr. Branson will be offering a seat or two to random people who couldn’t dream of having an opportunity to travel to the stars in any lifetime.
On the search engine front, most of us are used to typing away in GOOGLE to find all manner of weird and wonderful things. However, there is a new kid on the block by the name of CUIL.
CUIL has actually been created by some of the boffins that helped GOOGLE become what it is today, so it should be interesting to see how it fairs over the coming months. In fact, it actually crashed yesterday, due to the overwhelming traffic caused by the curious masses.
I actually quite like it so far, and it is quite fast too

The entreprenurial spirit has got to be the answer to space exploration. Branson is now a real pioneer.

This certainly is a step in the right direction and I hope it is a success.
