Gestalt Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I am giving a speech involving space tourism, and I came across this beautiful footage of progress at Virgin Galactic. If you haven't, you should see this...even without the fancy music, ess pretty cool. So this is a sub orbital flight (goes to space with a trajectory of coming back) think ICBM but with eight people in it (two pilots, six passengers) and no 'sploding. The seats are still 250k but this should, eventually, go down. If orbital tourism ever hits 50k in my life time, I am, for serious, doing it. You can talk about space tourism or gush here I guess..

Icy Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm just waiting for Earth-Moon tours to start... I'll take one of those for sure.I know a sub-orbital flight would be fun, though. Quite expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gestalt Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Earth-moon would be a matter of days, even if you didn't touch down. Thrilling tho. Can't wait to buy my friends sun tours. They are supposed to be super cheap, being one way and all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
