Richard Branson has revealed the first marketable passenger spacecraft, the spacecraft Two, a shiny black and white vessel planned to fly in 2011. The spacecraft is Branson’s luxurious gamble on creating a profitable space tourism business. Current in the promotion of spacecraft Two at its shed in Mojave, California be the 300 people who give their first deposits of $20,000 each to Virgin enormous, an outcome of Branson’s Virgin Atlantic Airways. Space-ride tickets will cost $200,000.

A twin-hulled airplane will carry spacecraft Two to an height of about 60,000 feet (18,288 meters) before discharging it. The spacecraft will then fire its onboard sky rocket engines, hiking to about 65 miles (104 km) over Earth. “One time in space, [travelers] will unbuckle their seats,” Branson said. ”Present are huge windows, which no spaceship has had earlier than, for them to seem reverse at the Earth. They can drift around and turn out to be astronauts.” After practicing “zero-G fun,” the spacecraft, with the six paying travelers on board, will move smoothly back to Earth and ground in New Mexico, where it was started.
