Why It’s Lit
Because touring through outer space is just one of those off-the-beaten-path bucketlisters that trump all travel bucketlisters on planet Earth…literally.
Believe It Or Not
Virgin Galactic is making space tourism as casual as booking a vacation to Banff—well, almost.
Their SpaceShipTwo Unity offers a suborbital trip where you can float weightlessly, see Earth from the edge of space, and humblebrag for life.
The experience promises unmatched views and an adrenaline rush that’s, quite literally, out of this world.
Passengers will get exclusive access to space and get to live out the weightless-zero-gravity experience without spending years in astronaut training.
What are the cons?
Expensive: Tickets start at a jaw-dropping $450,000, making it accessible only to the 1%.
Wait Times: With a long reservation list, you might wait years for your flight.
Weather Delays: Flights are sensitive to conditions, adding unpredictability.
Founded in 2004 by Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic operates out of Mojave, California, with its main launch site at Spaceport America in New Mexico.
Branson’s vision was to democratise space, but pricing shows it’s more of a luxury club.
Space travel has never been this accessible—well, for those with deep pockets.
But hey, if you’ve got the cash, why not reach for the stars?
Drop This Fact
In 1987 Richard Branson set the Guinness World Record for the fastest Atlantic Ocean crossing in a hot air balloon at the age of 36. He believed floating a Virgin Atlantic Flyer balloon was a great way to get publicity for his airline.
