The ulimate gadget by Virgin Galactic has  got to be the most expensive ever now we can all go to space well if your very rich.It is believed that some 300 clients have already paid the 200,000 dollar (£121,500) ticket or put down a deposit for a seat.SpaceShipTwo will be carried into the skies by its mothership, White Knight Two, and released at 50,000ft after which rockets will propel it to more than 65 miles above the Earth’s crust.According to advance specifications, SpaceShipTwo will be twice the size of Virgin Galactic’s prototype craft.

At 60-feet long, with both windows and overhead portholes, it will seat eight people — two pilots and six passengers — who will experience about five minutes of weightlessness. At maximum altitude, astronauts will be able to see the curvature of the Earth, a view that until now only few people have been able to experience.

The plane is called SpaceShipTwo. It will be tested over the next 18 months before being allowed to fly passengers on short trips just above the atmosphere

Each trip is expected to last about two-and-a-half hours so start saving now or you can always sell your house icon smile 2012 4real SpaceShipTwo Branson’s New Virgin Galactic

  1. This will be “one hack of a ” business :)
    It will be highly profitable. 200 thousand per passenger * 6 passengers per flights = 1,2 million per flight.

    And I don’t think a flight even costs 100.000…
    The project must have cost millions, though… But on the long term, they will be more profitable if they shrink the price of a flight to let’s say 50.000!

    Then they will have thousands, tens of thousands, perhaps. Could easily make 50 billion out of 1000 yearly flights costing 50.000 per passenger.
