Richard Branson has plans to voyage to the centre of the earth. "Sir Richard Branson to launch journeys to the centre of the earth," the website Virgin Volcanic states.
"In its first three years of operation, VVS1 will target the five most active volcanoes in the world: Etna, Stromboli, Yasur, Ambrym and Tinakula.
"Using patented carbon-carbon materials pioneered for deep space exploration, Virgin is proud to announce a revolutionary new vehicle, VVS1, which will be capable of plunging three people into the molten lava core of an active volcano.
"Sir Richard Branson will go on the first expedition along with Black Eyed Peas recording artist and science enthusiast will.i.am and actor/producer Seth Green. Virgin registered Virgin Volcanic in the late 1990s in anticipation of the development of technology to explore active volcanoes." The first Virgin Volcanic trips are scheduled for 2015.
