Quillan Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I saw on MSN news this morning that you can book for this now and the first flights will be in 2011. To be honest I knew about attempts to privately put a human in to space but I never knew it had succeeded.Anyway for those that are interested (perhaps a Christmas or Birthday gift for the 'old man') you can visit the website and make your reservation.http://www.virgingalactic.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I would go but there's just no atmosphere on those holidays [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I watched the lunchtime news today where the 'space' craft was unveiled (seems its actually been built and will be tested next year) and there have been over 300 people so far who have paid a deposit ($20,000). I was just wondering how much travel insurance would cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I've always thought space travel was a daft idea - so few people could afford this frippery - most people cannot even afford to go to London never mind Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
