Virgin Galactic officially announced this week that ticket sales has opened to the general public starting today, and the company plans to have their 1,000 customers on board at the start of commercial service later in 2022. Each reservation also includes access to the Future Astronaut membership community where members can enjoy access to priceless experiences, events, trips and space-readiness activities while awaiting their trip.
Passengers will be launched from Spaceport America in New Mexico, but the trip begins ahead of time with several days of spaceflight preparedness activities. The spaceflight itself consists of a 90-minute journey that includes a signature air launch and Mach-3 boost to space at which point the spaceship smoothly flips over while astronauts enjoy several minutes of out-of-seat weightlessness. You can reserve a seat today for $450,000 USD with a $150,000 initial deposit.
