BBC got themselves a close look at the Virgin Galactic operation

400+ have already booked their seats (don't think there is a seat map in MYB though ): ): )

1,000,000 miles, must be flown miles on VS, not earned on credit cards, code share, etc

Sadly no, it's 2,000,000 (see link below) and even then you have to win a 'prize draw' to get a reward seat and be able to use it.

Of course, you could always see if they would take 1,000,000 for a one way trip!

I watched NBC's Las Vegas. How hard can it be?
