So today, I read up about Virgin Galactic’s new SpaceShipTwo. From the article: “Virgin Galactic is offering tickets aboard SpaceShipTwo spaceliners for an initial price of about $200,000, though Branson said the cost is expected to drop after the first five years of operations.”
I don’t know about you, but even after the first five years, I’m thinking that the price will only go down to half that amount, making it about $100,000. The idea that we will have a Space tourist attraction is very exciting though.
Let’s hope they get the safety aspects of the flight (which is expected to be about 2 hours), under control. I’m pretty sure I would never want to be the first to go up if they’re not sure if it will Really be safe.
This is so exciting!
