Quiet One 15 Report post Posted December 1, 2008 Ok, being at work, I can't properly translate the following article. Original Article It comes from the most reliable of sources about Hamilton (Spanish newspaper "Marca") They know him so intimately that they had this published even if I couldn't find any other independent source that would confirm this story. Anyways, it's just too funny and I wish it would be true. It says that Lewis has invested 753,000 Euros to take his family, his gf and himself to space in Richard Branson's last toy, the Space Ship Two. A spaceship/airplane hybrid that will reach almost 105 kilometers above the earth's surface. I will leave as an exercise for you to imagine the vitriolic comments Marca makes about this trip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabradoRacer 2 Report post Posted December 1, 2008 "Enjoy the one-way trip, Lewis." ? "Nicole's rack will find it a lot easier to defy gravity." "One small step for man, giant leap for monkeykind." "Hope there's a crane up there, in case you park wrongly." To those who are eager to dub me racist, just one thing. If a white man's called a monkey, no one calls it racism. So ha.

freaky2 1 Report post Posted December 1, 2008 Someone told me about that the otehr day (Katy? Eli? I don't remember) but she said that he intended to take his gf's family, to which I replied that it would be the first time HIS family wouldn't be involved. I see that after all hell would have to freeze over for that to happen And Marca could have said a lot more things, I think... they only spit "insults" (no time to think for a better word, sorry) for the first paragraph XD @Jay: that was funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jez 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2008 Surely this belongs in the space thread which everyone should visit and contribute to? If I had Hamilton's money, I'd do it too. So good on him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you're chief of the haters but it's my bday for Christ's sake! Go on, say you love Lewis too, deep down. Surely this belongs in the space thread which everyone should visit and contribute to? Fair point! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
