Space tourism will become a reality thanks to Virgin Galactic

Virgin Galactic

It is not the first time that we are talking about a company that works to try to take tourists into space, the truth is that it seems that Virgin Galactic if indeed that has thrived in its intentions and, above all, has more invested in them. This finally resulted in that, after many months of testing and negotiations, finally the company run by Sir Richard Branson has managed to get the ‘operator license ‘ of the Administration Federal of Aviation of the United States, better known as the FAA.

Before continuing, let know you that Virgin Galactic takes from 2013 trying to realize this possibility, the date on which began to sell tickets at a price of $250,000. Today there is already a waiting list where there are listed some 800 people expected to be the first to become space tourists. Got license has been awarded to a service provided by the spacecraft SpaceShipTwo, same that will be used under an indefinite concessions on U.S. soil.

The flight of Virgin Galactic could begin in the middle of 2017.

Although certain that some already know, I have to remind you that the Virgin Galactic trips, despite the name of the service, will not be entirely in space, i.e., what suggests the company is a flight to Mach 1.4 to a height between 80 and 100 km, height that is still within the limits of the outer space. Finally just let you know, when you could have purchased a passage, which, at the moment, the company did not want compromise to give a date for the first of his travels.

Something that usually does not miss this kind of news are rumors, same that are running that Virgin Galactic could begin sending travelers to the espadio to mid-2017.
