If you love flaunting your riches and already had trips round-the-world, then you must get ready to explore the space on the Virgin Galactic’s suborbital spaceship, the inimitable rocket-powered vehicle that will carry you into the space.
British billionaire Sir Richard Branson showcased a replicate of the SpaceShipTwo that is intended to carry six passengers and two pilots to an altitude of about 140km on a sub-orbital space voyage. Well, as the luxury doesn’t come cheap, a flight on the SpaceShipTwo will cost you $200,000 including about five minutes of zero-gravity experience.
While the SpaceShipOne designed by Burt Rutan was the first to get into the sub-orbital space with an altitude of just more than 100km in the year 2004, it is fir the very first time that the passengers on the flight will reach to an altitude of about 140km.
The one of its kind test flights will start late next year while the first commercial tourist flights are proposed for the year 2009.
