Virgin Galactic´s rocket-powered SpaceShipOne to launch space tourism in 2009
(via tedblog): Virgin CEO Sir Richard Branson offered the first public look at the rocketship expected to make space tourism a reality. The mock-up -- revealed at WIRED/NextFest in New York ( Sep 29th-Oct 01st) -- is based on the design of SpaceShipOne, the Ansari X-Prize-winning craft designed by Burt Rutan (TED2006). The first Virgin Galactic flight is tentatively scheduled for 2009; tickets are expected to cost £100,000 ($190,000). Book your space ticket now to become one of the world´s first commercial astronauts. Too expensive? Then check Anousheh Ansari´s space blogg including her video favorites for inspiration.
