Ah, but if the first person contributes $1, the second person $2, the third $4, the fourth person $8, and so on, it then only needs 19 people to contribute.

I wouldn't like to be anyone further down the chain than the 6th or 7th person though... ;)
If you get more raffle tickets for donating more, it could be worth it. :)

I have another proposal. Let's so not buy a ticket, and just hijack it...
You're scaring the Virgin Galactic guys away!:lol:


Hey, is Tex married? If all of this money is going to him for a while, his wife may get a little suspicious that something else is going on. :facts:
:lol:

hahahah :lol: Nah I'm not married. :p

On topic: I think this could be a cool idea, but to really succeed I think getting a sponser or sponser(s) would be the best idea as already mentioned in this thread.

Opening the door on SS2 will be more or less impossible under external vacuum.

"how bout using white knight as first stage in small orbital launcher?"
"how bout parabolic flights with white knight?"

Scaled are already considering both of these, so you're a little too late.

Yeah, I'm thinking of working for Virgin Atlantic as a pilot. I say we hold the contest, and the ticket goes to the winner of Tex' movie contest;)
