Remember those twin brothers from “The Social Network” who accused Mark Zuckerberg of ripping off their idea for Facebook and cutting them out of billions in profits? And then hilariously went to Harvard President Larry Summers and asked him to intervene?
Well, they’re heading to space. And are they enthused about it. Very enthused.
Virgin Galactic announced today that Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are the 700th and 701st people to sign up for a ride to space aboard SpaceShipTwo. The two brothers run Winklevoss Capital, which is an investment firm.
