I have in the past been, if not a critic, then at the very least a tad dubious about some of the green noises being made around sending a bunch of rich tourists up to space for a Kodak moment atop a column of greenhouse gasses.
Virgin Galactic is one giant leap for the well-heeled
'Incidentally, the carbon dioxide emissions of a passenger on a spaceflight will be roughly 60pc of those of a passenger on a regular London-New York flight, with Galactic working with engine manufacturers Pratt & Whitney towards eventually flying the aircraft on renewable jet fuel.'
Renewable jet fuel? That's a new one on me.
Anyway, see... in fact, it is saving the planet. Says so in the brochu... Telegraph.
