United States To Get First Spaceport Courtesy of Richard Branson. Richard Branson Purchases Cape, Orders Clone Army.

It does my heart good to see Richard Branson bulling forward with this space travel thing while the U.S. Government flails around trying to figure out how to flew spaceship. Seriously. NASA is little more than a government pork project at this point, and crazy British billionaires are building cool underground space ports in the New Mexico desert...wait, an underground space port and a private spaceship empire? Is it just me, or could Richard Branson be that crazy billionaire that goes insane and tries to dominate space and only ONE MAN CAN STOP HIM? I can totally see a musclebound Vin Diesel running through his space station as Richard Branson wears a cape and struts and sneers, "He's only ONE MAN! What can one man do?!" He is British, after all, and we know they make the best bad guys.
