Virgin Galactic has announced that it will start selling tickets to everyone on February 16th. But not everyone can become a space tourist, since the price of a ticket is $450,000.

True, the entire amount will not be required immediately, but the deposit is still huge and amounts to $ 150,000.

We at Virgin Galactic believe that space transforms us. We plan to bring our first 1,000 customers into commercial service later this year, which will provide an incredibly strong foundation as we begin regular operations and expand our fleet.

Thus, there are several news at once. This is the start of ticket sales, and prices, and the approximate dates of the first flights, and the ticket limit. In addition, as we see, the company is going to build new ships.

Since we are still talking about huge sums and corresponding customers, Virgin Galactic is not going to be limited directly to the flights themselves. Booking tickets will also give you access to the Future Astronaut community, built to bring inspiration, excitement and adventure from the moment you buy a ticket to spaceflight and beyond, according to the press release. Members will have access to events that money can’t buy, travel, and space-preparation activities while they await their space flight.

As for the flight itself, it will take about 90 minutes, but people will spend only a few of them in zero gravity. It is difficult to talk about a full-fledged space flight in this case, since in the first such flight VSS Unity reached an altitude of only 89 km, which is lower than the conditional space boundary (100 km) accepted in most countries.
