Not only Richard Brandson (Virgin Galactic coverage) is on the starting block, now YOU can also join the lottery to win your free space ticket.

See you in the Moon ;-)

NoMajor.com

NoMajors is an Internet platform to ease up music distribution for independent artists, bypassing traditional distribution channels without any fee or commission. A bit like MySpace but more focused on music distribution. The main goal of the NoMajorsd is to start from a simple business idea and develop it as far as possible with a few financial capabilities both technically and business side. Now No Majors enables artists to distribute freely their music according to their own rules. But it is also a new way to invest little money to support an artist you like that may become the next Keziah Jones and have you money back with interest if this artist is produced, if not you get your money back.
