Space.com has an article on Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo, the larger version of the X-prize winning SpaceShipOne that will start sub-orbital passenger flights in 2009. There are some pictures of the interior and most interestingly an animation movie that shows the space ship being launched and gives a good idea of what the experience will be like for passengers.
The initial price for a ticket will be $200.000. In the years and decades after that prices can only drop as other companies enter the market, and flights will get longer as technology improves, hopefully reaching actual orbit. In any case, I'll be going one day! |
