British tycoon Sir Richard Branson has unveiled an aircraft that will be used to transport customers into space. The US is currently home to the high-altitude jet that will act as a mothership to a spacecraft. Around 250 people have already paid $200,000 each to be one of the first to travel into space thanks to Branson’s new service.
The maiden voyage is due to take place in approximately 18 months time. Branson has a long term dream of people taking holidays into space.
