A Universe of Travel: The Virgin Galactic Quest

Riding through the comfort zone to go to the moon is not as far off as you think.  Our chairman, Richard Branson, announced plans of the SpaceShipTwo today in New York City.  This spacecraft will be two times larger than the SpaceShipOne, which was brought into flight in June of 2004.  The SpaceShipTwo will be able to accommodate six passengers. 

With the goal in mind to promote space tourism, the seats will be cushioned, and yes, passengers will have the ability to recline peacefully. From the official Virgin Galactic website, you will be able to “See the world in a whole new light.”

The ticket will cost you $200,000 apiece.  You’ll have to wait until about 2009 though until you can fly, so start saving now.
