The future of commercial space flight is a step closer this morning after Sir Richard Branson christened Virgin Galactic's spaceport in the New Mexico desert.
@roguemale57 Yeah, I've read about Denis Tito. I suppose to a millionaire like him, $16.5 million plus isn't too hard on the pocketbook. But you make a good point … this sum makes the ticket prices for Branson's commercial space flight sound like peanuts.
@AquaBlue070 You can have a dig but, compare this with Russia's first space tourist ( Denis Tito) he paid £16.5 million to spend seven days in orbit after joining a Russian mission ...

So tickets are $200,000 a piece? Holy hell. I wonder how many minutes / hours in Earth orbit that'll buy you?
