How exciting! Probably about the craziest concept so far right after the space hotel!
Today was the inauguration of the spaceport in New Mexico, where Richard Branson abseiled down the side of the buiding, holding a bottle of champagne in the presence of New Mexicos governor Susana Martinez and astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
This really is a point in history that will change travel forever.
The duration of the flight is two and a half hours long and your total time of weightlessness will last 5 minutes. The cost? A whopping $200,000 but I guess who can put a price tag on something that has been a dream for some people all their lives! I'm sure it will be something really extraordinary!
Tests flights will take place next year and the real deal soon after! So start saving your pennies for your next crazy whim!
