A few years of waiting for people who bought tickets to space seems to be coming to an end.
The company “Virgin Galactic”, founded by British billionaire Richard Branson, has confirmed that it will launch public flights at the end of June.
The first flight will be called “Galactic 01”
It is learned that there will be six members on board. Second flight “Galactic 02” is projected to happen at the end of August this year, and then there will be flights every month. Although flights will be open to the general public, the first flight will also be a scientific research mission. Virginia Galactic is one of 3 private companies dedicated to space exploration.
SpaceX and Elon Musk and the Jeff Bezo's Blue Origin are also on this list of companies. These companies have been conducting different experiments for years now to enable space travel. In the past decade, Virginia Galactic has sold about 800 tickets to this trip.
Prices have started at a sum of $200,000 per person, and currently the price of a space ticket is $450,000.
This causes the experience of travel to space to be of immediate value only to the rich.
