I thought it was air miles you were collecting???

So, looking forward to your Virgin Space Flight!

As long as NASA has nothing to do with it

Do Air Miles work vertically? I have something like 5000 on my old British Airways card, reckon they would transfer them to Virgin? I only need 125 miles: 62 up, 62 down.

Now, Adam, I failed to get an O level maths, but that makes 124 in my head.............

You need more than that to get to area 51 !

 

[mildmanneredjanitor]

Wait for an explanation about runway length...

 

[AdamW]

I believe they have a 3-mile runway at Area 51.

At Groom Lake, I think it is, where they land the Space Shuttle, they have a 3-mile runway with several miles of rock-hard smooth, flat, dry lake bed afterwards.

However, I would think SS1 only needs a mile or two. Anyway, their new altitude record is a fraction under 70 miles, so I need 140 miles now. Not including the 9 miles they take you up under White Knight first of all.
