I wonder if they will have a passenger dress code that will pass scrutiny from Thrawn.......


The spaceport looks pretty nice. I wonder what they will end up charging for a ride.

Virgin Galactic's mission is to fly 500 passengers a year to an altitude of slightly over 100 km, allowing each passenger to experience weightlessness for at least 6 minutes. Each seat will be sold for at least US$200,000

Sort of like an expensive hooker, not long enough, and leaving you feeling like you should have got more for your money....

Speaking of t-shirts, I got one for my birfday in June that reads "tell your t*ts to quit staring at my eyes". Pretty darn funny.

:D

I just made 165 Ts for a gym that has opened up in a small town close to me.
Both the ladies that bought the gym are named Debbie. They name the gym Double D`s.
I did 50 men`s shirts. The rest  for the ladies. Both men and ladies have the gym name and address, phone # on the rear.
Front of the men`s shirts  has "I Like Double D`s"
The ladies has "I Have Double D`s"
Most double D`s I have ever been in the presence of at once. :)
