A commercial for next week's The Rebel Billionaire on FOX shows clips of SpaceShipOne interspersed among shots of the contestants weightless aboard Zero-G Corps' 727. They hype the danger of the flight ("She wants us to take the plane down!") though speaking as someone who got good and sick on a Russian Vomit Comet (excuse me, Weightless Wonder) flight, they are all wimps if they can't live with the discomfort and still remember the experience as one of the best they ever lived through.

Given the format of past episodes, there should be shots of Branson talking about his planned VSS fleet as well.

"... they are all wimps if they can't live with the discomfort..."
