HERE'S a sobering thought: Sir Richard Branson getting around at three times the speed of sound. If you thought the Virgin founder was already packing a lot in lately, wait until he goes galactic.

In a dizzying past few weeks, Sir Richard, 56, has launched a new health bank to store the stem cells from babies' umbilical cords; sprayed the Virgin Media logo all over cable group NTL and produced a $US25 million ($32 million) prize for whoever cracks extracting greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

For a minute, I thought that this would be a story about prom night...

[Friends of the Earth labeled him a man "deeply confused about climate change". . .]

These goofs want him to decommission all his airplanes and recycle them into unisex pogo sticks.

Sounds like a middle aged AHDD hyperactive death spiral.

I have a feeling that they are shaking him down....

[Brad from Tennessee]

You have a good point. A few million would get them on his side.

Branson can now see the top of Ted Turner's head further down the Maelstrom.
