I want to fly a space shuttle too!!!

How freakin cool is this? This guy wins a bunch of Formula 1 trophies, quits racing to open an airline, sells it, then opens another airline, and now shells out $200K so he can fly one of the suborbital spaceships that Virgin Galactic is planning to start flying in the next five years.  I mean, how friggin cool is this guy?

Most of us would be quite happy just to have a backseat pass; I know I would.  Seriously, I want to ride one of these before I die.  Not anytime soon, just in case something goes wrong, you know?  I want to see my family grow up before I die.  But at the end, there, they'll probably have the technology a bit smarter and it won't cost $200K to go, at least not after adjusting inflation.  We'll probably all be making $200,000 a year by the time I'm that old.  But sweet.
