Branson to take holiday in space

Tuesday, 01 Apr, 2016 0

Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson is to join British astronaut Tim Peake on the International Space Station.

The serial entrepreneur and multi-millionaire, who has set up his own company to develop space tourism, has decided to take a six-month holiday on the ISS.

"I’ll miss the beaches, but the magnificent views will make up for that," he said.

A spokeswoman for the Virgin Group refused to comment on whether Sir Richard’s decision to take a space sabatical was related to a recent discovery on his island resort of Necker, after this video surfaced on youtube.
