I set up this magazine called Student when I was 16, and I didn't do it to make money - I did it because I wanted to edit a magazine. There wasn't a national magazine run by students, for students.

With space travel, [it's] no different. You know, in 1990 I read the name Virgin Galactic Airways. Loved the name.

I definitely go on gut instinct but it has always had the back up of research and information.
Richard Branson
Throughout my business life I have always tried to keep on top of costs and protect the downside risk as much possible.
