Which Space Travel Operator?

Virgin Galactic

There aren’t many space operators offering flights in orbit. Basically there are only 2 main ones. You can even visit the International Space Station, & travel 60 miles above the earth!

Amazingly, even with the cost in mind, and the fear of the unknown, seats are being snapped up like hotcakes, and the wait is already over a year long.

We are talking in the region of six figures EACH though. So this is not your average trip. But one day,no doubt it will. Perhaps in our lifetimes.

Current Space Operators
