Chris. That's who!
Space, ready or not, here I come!
What's the point of all this? Well, its always been a dream of mine to go to space (I'm a Pilot and a Skydiver, so that's about as close as I can get for now). This site is my personal fundraiser to help me achieve my dream of going to space, and becoming an astronaut. All with the help of Virgin Galactic, and my hero Sir Richard Branson.
Yes folks. The future has arrived, and space tourism is just about a reality.
Excerpt from Virgingalactic.com:
SPACE TICKET
HOW MUCH DOES A SPACE TICKET COST?
Tickets are starting at $200,000 (around £107,000) �" around one hundred times less expensive than that paid by the only space “tourists” to date. Virgin Galactic will seek to reduce this price as fast and as far as possible, allowing many thousands of people to experience space for themselves.
Now you see my dilemma.
Now all I need is to raise some 200,000 dollars (as of the time of this writing, June 2007)! So, it is my mission to try to raise this over the next few years to try to achieve my lifelong dream, to go to space, and be an Astronaut. Hopefully by around 2009, or 2010!
This is the internet. Almost anything, and everything is possible.
"So, how do you plan on raising all this money, Chris?"
I plan on raising this money through this web site, sendchris2space souvenirs, and donations.
I will continually update and post the progress and support that I have received.
