Does it fly faster than Concords?


Unfortunately we haven't come up with a way for grapes to fly yet. (How about it science?)



It does not however fly faster than a Concorde.

>> ^westy:

This is all good and fun , but really should we not be pioneering technology that caters to the pore and the majority of humans on the planet rather than a technology that will only cater to the super wealthy at first and then maybe the very upper middle western class in 30 years ?
As far as i understand the altitude for this craft would be to low and short lived for scientific use maybe some of the research from this will go into national space programs.
stuff like this is far better than war and entertainment is defiantly an important thing i still feel this for such a small section of privileged society that its just an insult to the majorty of people on earth.


No no no no no no no NO NO NO NO god no.

Firstly, who are you to decide what people spend their money on? Richard branson's company can do whatever the hell richard branson chooses because he made the successful company. Why the hell don't you spend all your time and money and effort on solving world hunger problems, if you're so keen to point out where others can increase their charity.

There's money in this for branson, that's why virgin is doing it. If there's one thing that will give a gigantic boot to the progression and interest in space travel, space flight, space technology, it's commercial companies finding a way to make money out of it.

If i told you to live and work inside your house all day every day, you'd get bored and want to escape the house and see the town. If i told you to live and work in your town all the time, you'd want to see the country. If i told you to stay in your country, you'd want to see the world. Why are people so content to sit on this rock indefinitely? If not space, what else? Do we just stay here like a fenced animal, our eyes blinkered, focused so hard on chasing bits of paper with "£20" or "$20" on them?

There are enough people in this world such that we can do more than JUST solve world hunger. We didn't drag people away from charity events to work on space flight.

Mr Colbert has made comments over the years about "rules" he has with his wife. They were mentioned when Jane Fonda sat on his lap and kissed him on the lips -- that broke the rules, a clearly uncomfortable Mr Colbert mentioned at the time.

I can't even BEGIN to imagine how this fits within the "rules"!!!!!

I would guess that Stephen's wife was keeping a pretty close eye on the proceedings...

As was the video editor.... I'm sure there are a few gems we missed out on because of his job.

I just love the dull, colorless expression on the model's face. This is just another day of photo shoot to her lol


After two hours of Colbert laughing and tossing his hair, everyone is on the verge of death.

EDIT: BTW this is about some magazine http://www.projectmag.com/

And the model is apparently Valerie Tymoczko.

Your video, Colbert as Richard Branson, vacuuming with a nude model, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Boobs.>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

There's a famous picture of Branson water skiing with a nude model clinging to him. Colbert is making fun of him.

Speculation from medical experts: What she experienced was probably a serious neurological episode, and she should have gone to a hospital:

edit: And now, closure, her ACTUAL doctors say it was a migraine not a stroke
http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/02/17/doctor-grammy-reporter-suffered-migraine-is-back-to-normal/?hpt=C2
But they emphasize that the symptoms are indistinguishable from a stroke, so you better get yourself to a hospital if this happens.
