The company behind Virgin Megastores and Virgin Atlantic has announced it will begin offering commercial space flights to well-to-do types for £100,000 a pop. They’ve secure a licensing deal with Mojave Aerospace Ventures, the company behind SpaceShipOne and the current front-runner to win the $10M X-Prize. According to the Wired article, the new venture is to be called ‘Virgin Galactic’. How cool is that? I love it.
