    Virgin Galactic unveils new spaceship cabin

    Virgin Galactic reached another milestone Tuesday after unveiling the
    design of the cabin interior for SpaceShipTwo, the spacecraft the
    company intends to use for commercial rides to the edge of Earth's atmosphere.

    LOL, more desperate clinging to the Star Trek fantasy that humanity is
    destined for the stars when all evidence points towards a reversion back
    to something from our agrarian past, and that's if we haven't already
    fucked up the climate such that it can still support reliable harvests.

    At $250,000 a ticket, I think this is called a "joy ride."

    "The profundity, however, will be rather brief. Customers will
    experience 10-15 minutes of weightlessness during the 30-minute flight
    before the ship glides to a return in southern New Mexico.

    But there will be champagne and hors d'oeuvre awaiting them when they
    return."
