Is Sir Richard Branson About to Take Over the Universe?

In summary, Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Galactic will be signing an agreement this week to lease the first private space port in Roswell, New Mexico where a UFO is alleged to have crashed in the 1940s. This move is part of the company's plan to start commercial space flights by 2008. While some find the $200,000 price tag for a two-and-a-half-hour flight a bit steep, others point out that Russians offer a similar experience for only 20,000 roubles. However, the Russian trip includes a stay at the International Space Station for several days.

Multiply that by 1000 and you're there. They charge 20 million.

Then again the Russian trip does include a brief stay at the ISS which lasts for days instead of a couple of minutes...
