Richard Branson finally made it to space. Looks like the goal is to eventually do more than one flight a day with a price tag around $40k. Starting slower and higher than that obviously...

It was nice watching the event live as it happened. Hopefully a sign a many more safe and enjoyable flights to come!

Doesn't matter what anyone says or thinks, wow! He made it to Space. Hopefully not 66 years before we get a turn also.

If it takes 66 years I think I will miss the opportunity. That would put me at about 126 years old. Not sure I wish to stick around that long. 😅

126 will be the new 66.

I saw that news article as well. 40k a ticket seems a bit expensive so I will wait for prices to drop if I ever decide in the future.

Way out of my price range. So believe I will keep my money for other things.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's a good idea. I won't be having any talk on that, 40k ain't a joke to just go chill in space.

Anything involving early adopters will be expensive. The more something is done (or the more units of some product are made), the sooner prices will drop. It was true for cruises, cars, computers, and cell phones, and it will be true for space travel.

I am going to wait for the elevator. 😉

Bezos is going up soon too, isn't he?

Yepp! He's the next one in line. Flying on 20th July.

Space Tourism is going to be a thing very soon. :')

We do not need to go to space for tourism. We can check out the aliens right here digitally. Google Maps even gives one a spaceship avatar when going to street view!

I am not sure it will be "very soon" but it will happen within a decade or two.

Good job on Sir Richard. Now if he can get to Mars before Elon Musk and claim it for 🚀ⒺⓃⒼⓁⒶⓃⒹ, that would be grand! Well, grand for Britain.
