It's all systems go for Virgin Galactic.

The commercial space flight company owned by billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson said Wednesday it has clearance from the U.S. government to begin planning space flights.

The flights will leave from Spaceport, which is owned by the state of New Mexico and was built to provide commercial space flight services.

The Federal Aviation Administration will work with local air traffic control to clear airspace for Virgin space flights.

What could go wrong?

Note to self, cancel New Mexico vacation.

Branson is taking the first flight with both of his sons.

Not the best idea he's ever had.

Alright, as the astrophysicsist of the bunch I should obviously go for science reasons or something. I'm counting on you, my ROD brothers to donate the 250K to get me there. For space and stuff.
