Virgin Galactic, an American spaceflight company, opened a ticket sales window which offers its signature 90-minute space ride to the public at a rate of $450,000 per seat. The experience includes space readiness training and leisure activities to justify the price tag which has escalated from the $250,000 charged in earlier ticket windows. According to the CEO of Virgin Galactic, Michael Colglazier, earlier ticket sales have already attracted 600 customers and the company plans to have its first 1,000 customers on board when commercial flights commence in late 2022. Virgin Galactic is not alone in the promising suborbital space travel industry.
