If you sign up for the initial flights with Virgin Galactic it will set you back a cool £100,000 with a 10% deposit on booking your flight. For this, though, you will “officially” go into space and experience weightlessness. A bargain at twice the price (or at least in my opinion!)
The company, funded fully by Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, looks to be the first commercial offering space flight to actually get airborne. Even though Virgin Galactic are ahead of it’s opposition, the focus is on making sure everything is right (especially safety) before the go-for-launch order is given. The first lucky passengers are set to go up next year, Virgin announced yesterday, if all goes to plan. Read the full press-release [HERE]
