soon | Tourist trips to space at a cost of $450,000 per person

Weather of Arabia - It seems that tourist trips will not be limited to Earth only in the coming days, but the dreams of the past will come true to become a reality that will fly us into space. The "Virgin Galactic" company, founded by British billionaire Richard Branson, has confirmed that it will make its first commercial tourist trip, Galactic 1 at the end of June.

This trip will not be the last, but will be the starting point for a series of tourist trips to space, and this trip will be followed by a second tourist space trip, “Galactic 2”, in early August 2023, with the company conducting monthly space trips after that.

Multiple successful experiments

The company completed its last test flight in May when it sent a crew of four company employees more than 50 miles above the ground.

British billionaire Richard Branson landed without problems in New Mexico after the first short test flight into space, accompanied by five people, in July 2021. The billionaire preceded Jeff Bezos into space, as the latter’s flight launched on July 20 of the same year. .
