If you are going to work for Virgin you can expect to work longer hours and get payed less than astronauts flying spaceships in other companies !

ICAO haven't finalised yet, but you'll probably need an ATPL, and all that goes with it, plus plenty of hours on multi engine jets, command of those jets, and some multi engine supersonic time, courtesy of your friendly Air Force.After you've about 20 years under your belt, you may be deemed competent to begin training.John Travolta need not apply...

I hope the in flight service is better than the ''virgin'' broadband !

I had Virgin broadband for 3 years 50mb speed! nothing beats that in the UK. BTW Virgin Broadband is just Cable & Wireless with the Virgin Brand stuck on. All Richard does is buy companys and stick his logo on it... Virgin Trains, Virgin Mobile etc even Virgin condoms! surely thats a paradox in itself??

"Carefully, pack the ammonium perchlorate into the tube until it's full. Don't smoke while doing this, smoking causes cancer." - It's funny cause you'd think smoking would be able to ignite it, but he talks of cancer :(
Aaah, now I get it. :(

but honestly it will be very sad if commercial space travel becomes real. What will happen to planes? Also the 787 and other new planes wont last long which is also sad

Based on the intelligence of this response. Perhaps I'll think about becoming a Nebraskian florist.
Based on the intelligence of this response, I'd say you have no hope of being an Astronaut.I'm not even from Nebraska, you Jackal. Shame%20On%20You.gif

OMG, if all threads were like this one I'd happily pay 1000 a month for Virgin broadband for an internet connection. What a laugh :(
