Space is Virgin Territory

Virgin Galactic is the world's first spaceline. Giving you the groundbreaking opportunity to become one of the first ever non-professional astronauts. Virgin Galactic will own and operate its privately built spaceships, modelled on the remarkable, history-making SpaceShipOne.

Virgin's vast experience in aviation, adventure, luxury travel and cutting-edge design combined with the unique technology developed by Burt Rutan will ensure an unforgettable experience unlike any other available to mankind.

With safety at the forefront, our unique spacecraft is being designed at Rutan's base in Mojave, California alongside a concerted research and development programme.

"The deal with Mojave Aerospace Ventures is just the start of what we believe will be a new era in the history of mankind, one day making the affordable exploration of space by human beings a real possibility." Richard Branson.

It is these spaceships that will allow affordable sub-orbital space tourism for the first time in the history of the universe.

Dang! So you beat me to it, an orbiting hotel so to speak. At least that's what I designed in the 60s after reading a couple of SciFi dealt with space tourism and working envidomnments in space. My idea though was to build a structure as a wheel that one can put a spin to so as to produce artificial gravity and if the hub is large enough then you will have zero "G" in there, all one would have to do would be to follow a small corridor to the hub and you will feel the weight dissipate as you go further to the center. I designed it so one could rent wigs in the center recreational hub and fly around with little effort...And if one could ship enough water it could be injected into the hub and sit as a globe..do.see my idea?

I have a great idea that would lower the cost and make space travel more accessible to everyone. Just hope someone contacts me soon.

I'm a fan of Virgin Galactic , living in Lossiemouth 'the jewel of Moray' Scotland - a possible site for a spaceport, space travel centre. Onwards and upwards, to infinity and beyond and the survival of Mankind.
