![2 big ones out of Virgin Group today: We sold Virgin Mobile today to Sprint. More importantly [and infinitely cooler], Virgin Galactic is going to receive a roughly $400M investment from Aabar Investments to continue to grow the business and launch it commercially. $280M will go directly to fund Galactic, and $100M is going to fund an interesting new piece that will hopefully help companies launch satellites into space. The fuselage on the Galactic underbelly is massive, and someone had the idea that we should strap sattelites to it and charge people for pushing them up into space. Genius. A good day for Virgin Group!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/UrUqsaeXKqg7gho0cR7N3C7mo1_500.jpg)
