Recently, the British company Virgin Galactic has once again launched the sale of "boat tickets" for space tourism. A seat costs 450,000 US dollars and the journey takes about 90 minutes.
A "ship ticket" deposit of 150,000 US dollars, pay the balance before the flight.
Virgin Galactic's reusable commercial crew spacecraft SpaceShipTwo can carry eight people to space, including six passengers and two pilots.
The flight is located at Spaceport America, New Mexico, and passengers can experience a 90-minute journey, enjoying a few minutes of weightlessness and a view of the Earth.
Virgin Galactic CEO Michael Colglazier said in a statement on the 15th that it plans to have the first 1,000 customers on board when commercial service begins later this year, which will start regular operations for Virgin Galactic and provide the basis for expanding the scale of the aircraft.
