SpaceShipTwo-side-on-Comparison

there’s a new kind of afternoon delight. if you’ve an extra $200k bones laying around.  sir richard branson and his team previewed virgin galactic’s rocketshiptwo , the first space ship of sorts that will accommodate regular people like us (well, regular people that can afford the fee).  when peeps take a ride on rocketshiptwo, they’ll be taken up 60K feet and will “drop away and they will then go to 2,000 miles per hour in 10 seconds, where they get propelled into space..once in space, [passengers] will unbuckle their seats…there are enormous windows, which no spacecraft has had before, for them to look back at the earth. they can float around and become astronauts.”

if you think the cost is outrageous, you’re not one of the 80K people that have added their names to the waiting list.  the first flight is reserved though, for branson and his family (including his mom mum). good news is that someday, they hope to get the price down so that the rest of us can afford to get a look at space.
