Will Virgin Galactic’s First Commercial Spaceflight Beat SpaceX Before Christmas 2018?

The Christmas is coming near, and it’s great to do something entirely different to what you often do in this annual holiday. Enjoying Christmas in the outer space may be an exciting idea. If you also think so, book a seat on the space flight of Virgin Galactic right now!

By the end of December 2018, the spaceflight company Virgin Galactic founded by Sir Richard Branson will launch the first commercial flight into space. With it, Virgin Galactic deserves to have a position in the Guinness World Records.

When interviewed by CNN last week, Branson couldn’t hide his pride in the company’s achievement. From now to the end of 2018, there will be no spaceflight company that has flown astronauts and civilians to space, but Virgin Galactic.

If everything is OK as expected, considering the development of space tourism, his company will win the two current giants including SpaceX owned by Elon Musk and Blue Origin owned by Jeff Bezos.

Of course, it’s not cheap at all to have a seat on the space flight of Virgin Galactic. The company revealed that each passenger would spend a considerable amount, from Rs 1.4 crore to Rs 1.75 crore, welcoming the festive holidays this year.

According to Sir Richard Branson, astronauts will examine the quality of these flights before the company really carries civilians to space. The purpose is to ensure the 100 percent safety for both flights and passengers. He will be present in the first flight that allegedly takes place by the end of 2018.

The VSS Unity will carry its passengers to the height of 80 km above the Earth at a speed of 3700 km per hour. This suborbital space flight certainly brings the unique Christmas to its participants. If money is none of your concern, why don’t you earn a seat in the first space flight with humans onboard of Virgin Galactic at the end of this year?
