A technology company named as Virgin Galactic (which owned also famous recording and music company Virgin Records before) makes serious steps to start their space tourism flights with the latest successful tests of rocket motor which will send their ship SpaceShipTwo into suborbital space. This motor uses hybrid Nitrous Oxide system to pass the 4000kmh and capable of sending amateur astronauts to approx. 110km from the Earth surface. The company states that the motor is totally controllable and safe eventhough it operates in the extreme speeds.

Interestingly, SpaceShipTwo will be launched to space from upper atmosphere making the launch environmentally less destructive while the traditional ground-launch spaceships contribute to pollution in higher degrees.

In their official website Virgin Galactic, there is an application form for space flight booking. Hey, it is ironically cheap for total silence of space, non-gravity and saying a hi to blue sphere from far, at least for me :) Be quick to make your reservation. It will cost you $200,000 for a ticket and $20,000 deposit is enough for a guaranteed seat. I hope amateur commercial flights to space will not stay as a dream for long.

  1. I think it will be great if in the future there is commercial flights for many people and at affordable price.
