Virgin Galactic resumes ticket sales

Virgin Galactic resumes ticket sales again. Almost anyone can buy a space ticket. It has one condition - it is necessary to have a sufficient amount of funds. Ticket prices start at $ 450,000. The news of the ticket sale comes after the British billionaire and founder of Virgin Galactic Richard Branson set out on a short journey into space in mid-July. The businessman became the first person to fly in his own spaceship, specifically in the VSS Unity space shuttle. Preparations and research for the trip took more than ten years, writes CNN. "I've been dreaming about this since childhood, but nothing could prepare me to look at Earth from space," the billionaire said after landing back on Earth. The company is ready to start commercial operations in 2022 and will offer three types of tickets. The first option is to reserve one seat, the price for one seat should start at $ 450,000. Family or friends can take advantage of multi-person seats, Virgin Galactic will also allow customers to purchase all six seats on a given flight. All customers who now choose to spend $ 450,000 on a seat may have to wait a while for their takeoff. There are already about 600 people on the waiting list who bought tickets a little earlier, CNN warns. Virgin Galactic began selling the first batch of space tickets nearly a decade ago. The SpaceShipTwo space shuttle will offer customers an hour-long experience, which will take them to a height of approximately 80 kilometers, which is the recognized border of space by the American authorities. Before returning to Earth, passengers will also experience a few minutes of weightlessness.
