I am already saving up for a Virgin Galactic ride

Has anybody read Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz?

yeah who hasn't

wooooowwwww.

the future is here, eh? o.0

now i have motivation to save up... :D

Well, firstly Scorpia was a perfectly good ending to the series, and "ZOMG HE STEPPED OFF A KERB" isn't a very satisfying reason to restart it.

More relevant: If anyone here hasn't read it, a billionnaire launches a space hotel, and he is launching the final rocket which will complete the hotel and make it operational (I believe). SPOILERS: On that rocket, is a bomb, to blow up the hotel, because it's bleeding money. It cost far too much to make, and nobody wants to stay there because it's so expensive. And when it blows up, it's about to destroy Washington DC, but Alex Rider saves the day!

So anyway, it's a pretty good book. But this space hotel thing is going to fall flat on its face. Hopefully not literally.

Awesome, but no way they build it by 2012.
