Virgin Galactic CEO Sir Richard Branson was the first to debut a commercial spaceport to anyone who could afford the heft price of $200,000. You can experience 4-6 minutes of weightlessness soaring viewing the Earth up to 62.5 miles high. Even though the price is rather high, the trade-off of cash to experience being an astronaut may be priceless to someone.

I checked put the website for this. Sir Richard Branson is filthy rich, the owner of virgin mobile. I think that they will easily fill the capacity on the inaugural flight. I don't know if i even had that kind of money that i would spend that much money on a really high airplane flight. It seems with only going 62.5 miles out your just touching the surface of space and getting a glorifies moon bounce ride. But, it is safe to say i will never be in the position to have to choose.
