In this CNN Money article Branson announces “that Virgin Group would begin offering space flights in 2007 for groups of up to five passengers.” The price tag is $198,600. It seems its as some predicted: Allen funds it, Burt builds and flies it, and Branson brands it and handles the ticketing. Neat little mix of strengths.

Update: Details from HobbySpace, the Virgin Galactic homepage, and the Scaled Composites press release…
