He's not just a rich geek, he has fun being a rich geek. Today, Virgin Galactic unveiled SpaceShipTwo and Mothership, the system that will carry paying passengers up to sub-orbit for 4.5 minutes of bliss.
But Branson is the billionaire geek he is today because doesn't miss a detail. Like, say nose art for the space ship! A bubble helmet! She's wearing a frigging bubble helmet!

I want a bubble helmet matting down my hair,
The ground giving way to the open air,
The joy and wonder as I head out there,
And I know I can have it, if I only dare.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
Nothing worth doing that I haven't tried.
There ain't no living on planet-side,
Come on with me, baby, on a rocket ride.
