Virgin Galactic’s Commercial Spacecraft
January 24th, 2008
Have you ever thought about taking a commercial flight to space? If so, here’s a look at what you’ll be traveling in if you fly with Virgin Galactic. Yesterday, Richard Branson, head of the Virgin Group, officially unveiled designs of the spacecraft that will be used during the company’s space tourism missions. The craft, which is actually comprised of two separate bodies–and sort of resembles some crazy Photoshop creation– must still undergo some degree of testing and construction, but is still expected to take its first flight as early as 2009. If you’ve got $200,000 to burn, and you’d like to be apart of history, you can book a flight here.
