HE SAYS HE DREAMS BIG, AND THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE. VIRGIN GALACTIC FOUNDER, SIR RICHARD BRANSON, SAYS THE TESTING PHASE FOR HIS SPACE TOURISM BUSINESS IS WINDING DOWN IN CALIFORNIA, SO IT IS TIME TO PICK UP STAKES AND HEAD TO SPACEPORT AMERICA IN SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO. HE TELLS M-S-N-B-C THAT THE INITIAL MOVE WILL INVOLVE AROUND 100 PEOPLE.
BRANSON HOPES TO HAVE TOURISTS HEADING INTO SPACE BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR. EACH TICKET, BY THE WAY, COSTS AROUND 250-THOUSAND DOLLARS AND BRANSON SAYS THERE ARE UP TO 800 PEOPLE SIGNED UP AT THIS POINT.
