"A global commercial space font demands a distinctive and timeless brand. It is important that our brand represents our dynamic customers' offering, and speaks to our unique experience, style and service."
According to the statement, the price of one ticket is 450 thousand dollars, and the bookers will be required to pay an initial amount of 150 thousand, provided that the flights will start at the end of this year, during which travelers will be allowed to experience free movement in light of zero gravity.
