LONDON - Virgin Galactic, the British company created by entrepreneur Richard Branson to send tourists into space, and New Mexico announced an agreement Tuesday for the state to build a $225 million spaceport. Virgin Galactic also revealed that up to 38,000 people from 126 countries have paid a deposit for a seat on one of its manned commercial flights, including a core group of 100 "founders" who have paid the initial $200,000 cost of a flight upfront. Virgin Galactic is planning to begin flights in late 2008 or early 2009.
suborbital right? so it prolly wont stay out thre but a few minutes at best...definately not worth the pricetag, but then again what do I know, there's people with pockets I prolly never own.
But at this rate maybe when I'm 60 I can consider a low 4 digit pricetag
