Rocketplane XP - Reach suborbital spaces

With our Rocketplane XP you will reach at the end of 2009 highest altitudes: more as 62 miles!

Your route will bring you first to an altitude of nearly 20,000 feet... then the rockets are fired and you're propelled through the clouds to a height of 34 miles -- five times higher than an intercontinental passenger's flight. You feel 3.5 G's of force and a level of exhilaration known to few.

When the Rocketplane® reaches the prime height, the rocket boosters switch off and airspeed reaches 2,100 miles per hour, more than three times the speed of sound... and your altitude quickly reaches an amazing 62 miles high!

We are now accepting bookings! Reserve your place today and join the pioneers of passenger astronautics!!

does this plane really work?

[SEL9000]

The design of the plane was changed in 2007, you will find also another video at our YouTube Presentation. It will work. Why not?

[mysweeteventhorizon]

No offense but here goes.

When I ran across your site while searching for MIG rides I was curious.

But after watching this video i am left with the impression of complete amateur youthful fantasy.

The soundtrack would work well with some hedonistic 70's disco dance/porn flic....

A suggestion: clean up the video and deal with technical , logistical and administrative info.

As an example look up "James May U2 BBC" here on Youtube......now this is a serious video..try to imitate it

[SEL9000]

Hello, thanks for your constructive critics, but this is the old video from Rocketplane Global from 2004. There is also a newer one here on YouTube with the new design. And also, we made MIG-25 Edge of Space flights for customers more earlier as the flight with the U2 was possible. There are two very special videos of this flights here, have a look and enjoy. And on our webside there are more informations of the Rocketplane as Rocketplanse by themself are presenting. :)

Best, SEL

lol its 95,000 USD a passenger thats hella expensive i was exspecting like 5000 USD

[SEL9000]

No. Price is 250.000 USD. What you are expecting? The suborbital space race is up to the beginning, and remember the costs of the first flight tickets via airplane across the Atlantic Ocean. Companies who are building such planes are doing it with private money.

Price will be more low in 2014/15 - around 25.000 then. Regards, SEL

We are going to space and nothing can stop us now.

Hope that dodgy tail fin at the end is a bit more secure when it takes off!

As long as government, any government, controls space, this will not become a reality. The bastards will prevent private space travel from jeopardizing their monopoly.

[HipsterLiciouss]

@mrmaciejm obama did. 

[odcs2010]

this is just a video game, i cant take this serious.

[ICEGTN]

I think the biggest problem are the death-rays from the sun. And the music.

[miguelmouta]

Earth is bursting in overcrowding ,drugadiction, pollution ,crime, food technology dependence and you keep wondering a dream of a jennie. Gay child deliriium.

[predatortheme]

@SEL9000 Can i ask you who you are?

are you an actual Aircraft Designer? or aerospace engineer?

[browntuka]

Just curious.. So does anyone know if "Space" has a destination code?? for eg: LHR-LAX (London Heathrow-Los Angeles....) By the way this plane better hurry up,cause I read somehere on the net that Aliens were going to attack earth this year!!! I DIDNT SAY IT MYSELF... You have a look at the link below and mock those who said it lol..

[Mi37591]

Right when the Rocket Kicks in and takes off, with the Music thumping,

why do I feel like Jacking OFF?
