Sometime this year, the first space tourism flight will take place aboard Richard Branson’s SpaceShip Two. Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides spoke with the Orange County Register about how it will work. The ride will cost you $250,000. You’ll fly 50 miles above Earth where you’ll be able to see the curvature of the Earth and experience weightlessness.
