Donald Trump Wants To Stick A Flag In Uranus

Current Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has put a bold, new backup plan in the chute, if his bid for the 2016 presidential nomination falls short. “We’re aiming for Uranus!” announced the media mogul during a press conference outlining his new space travel and tourism venture. “Forget about the moon, forget about Mars. I see myself in Uranus.”

The project, called “Uranus Air”, adds Trump’s name to the new industry, a concept spearheaded by British aerospace and music entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson. Branson’s enterprise, Virgin Galactic, suffered several setbacks including an October 2014 fatal crash during a test-flight.

“Branson can’t get things off the ground. He’s a loser. I’m a winner,” said Trump, “and I’ll probably get to fly the plane myself, because I’m a results kind of guy. If my goal is Uranus, I will put everything I’ve got into Uranus.”

When told by a reporter that the cost of space travel and the current technology – still in its infancy – would make the voyage unlikely, Trump replied, “I’m rich. I’m very rich. Money’s not a problem for me. I’ve got the best engineers in America working on Uranus.”
