READY TO GO TO SPACE


British billionaire Richard Branson's dream of space travel that thousands of people can afford took a leap toward reality with the maiden flight of the world's first commercial spacecraft over California's Mojave Desert. VSS Enterprise remained attached to carrier aircraft for duration of near 3-hour flight.

Test-flight program is expected to continue through 2011 before commercial flights start.
Virgin Galactic has envisioned one flight a week, with six tourists aboard.
Each will pay $200,000 for the ride and train for at least three days before going.
So get your credit cards out george Jetson and lets take a trip to the moon.
