Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo


















Now, thanks to Virgin Galactic, you can go into space for 2.5 hours for only $200,000 dollars. Apparently it's "well worth it". The spaceship is attached to a mothership, that takes off and once it reaches an acceptable altitude the spaceship is dropped and its thrusters are activated and the craft is rocketed from naught to 2,000mph in under 10 seconds.

think diffrent

"Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels.
The trouble-makers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules,
and they have no respect for the status-quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them,
glorify, or vilify them.
But the only thing
you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may view them
as the crazy ones,
we see geniuses.
Because the ones who are crazy enough
to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do."

Mulholland produced two illustrated manuals featuring a range of tricks from placing pills into drinks to stealing documents and avoiding detection. The classified manuals were believed to have been destroyed in 1973, but intelligence historian H.
