BBC reporter Richard Scott has become the first journalist to be allowed inside the Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo and although it is very much a work in progress with the craft still undergoing glide tests, it is nonetheless interesting to see the space where 2 pilots and 6 paying passengers will be occupying in the next two years.
Each paying passenger will have to shell out $200,000 (£120,000) for the privilege of flying up to the edge of Space and seeing the skies outside turn from blue to black, spending around 5 minutes ‘floating’ within the craft before a return to Earth once more.
A special note for any paying passenger concerned about the physical stresses this puts on the human anatomy, I happen to know of a very qualified specialist doctor who knows how to perform CPR in microgravity and who would be happy to accompany you on your voyage – just get in touch!
