Spaceport America has opened its long awaited runway that will allow the paying public to travel to space at a cost of $200,000 each via Virgin Galactic's Spaceship two. The runway which has been aptly named a Space way is 2 miles long stretching across the spaceport in New Mexico.
Sir Richard Branson and other high profile astronaughts were present at the unveiling, where Mr Branson said it had been a perfect end to a great month. Spaceship two performed numerous fly pasts, along with its Mothership the White Knight two.
The order book for the historic flights is already over 300, clients will have three days of space training before their flight, where they will experience outer space. The first flights are expected to take off in the next 18 months.
