A few hours ago eccentric billionaire Richard Branson (aka Mr Virgin) and Burt Rutan (airplane designer) presented officially their new space vehicle, SpaceSipTwo which promises to offer voyages in Earth’s orbit.
If all goes well the test flights will start in a few months. The space craft, will be able to carry 8 people (6 passengers and 2 crew members) and it will offer 4,5 minutes of zero gravity. We should not mention the cost for such a flight, unless you are a person who is reading Weberence from your own private island in the Caribbean.
