Three Stacks Thursdays - Aeronautics Edition

Travel On Virgin Galactic

Tickets cost $200,000 and deposits start from $20,000. Space travel, even the commercial version like this, if no small feat, and before you go anywhere you’ll spend 2-3 days preparing with the flight crew. If you thought you knew speed in the past, forget it, with this flight you’ll reach over 3 times the speed of sound within a matter of seconds, soaring out of the earth’s atmosphere at 2500mph.

When you’ve reached space, the rocket engines turn off and everything goes very silent. You’ll experience zero gravity for what will likely be the very first time, while staring out the windows at the stars and earth that surround you. You’ll have plenty of time to experience weightlessness in the roomy cabin, before facing the extreme G-forces that you’ll experience on the re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere, where you’ll drift into a smooth glide back down to earth. Certainly an expensive experience, but one that will be unmatched by anything else you’ve ever done.
