richard branson, playboy billionaire and one of my all-time favorite people in the world, will be allowing one of history’s greatest nerds, stephen hawking, a chance to go into space on his new project, virgin galactic. it is no secret that i, too, wish to someday go into space, and if i can do it by the time i’m 65, i will feel pretty accomplished. it has long been one of stephen hawking’s greatest dreams to go into space, and richard seems to want to make his dream happen. kudos to you, richard, for giving the man behind a brief history of rhyme a shot at the stars.
