Reality TV Goes To New Heights

Owner of the Virgin Cooperation, Sir Richard Branson, has just announced his newest project – a reality television series IN SPACE!

Well, not exactly in space – yet – but it will be showing Richard’s plans to make space tourism possible. Last month, Richard revealed his plans for the Virgins VSS Enterprise spacecraft, with plans to launch off as soon as 2011 to take tours in outerspace.

The series will premiere in the spring on the National Geographic Channel and over a four-episode arc, follow the billionaire and his engineer in attempting to send 50,000 people into space over the next decade.
