Richard Branson, head of the Virgin group, announces the opening of a new chapter in the world of space tourism. Later this year, commercial flights to Earth's orbit will be available to all those seeking extreme sensations.

The company already has a ready-made space ship called VSS Unity, which can take 6 people on board and offer them breathtaking views of the planet from a space perspective. Tourist flights will take place from the famous spaceport called SpacePort America, located in the state of New Mexico. This facility was created specifically for the future of mass flights into space. According to the latest research, they will enjoy enormous interest, regardless of the high ticket price.

Now a picture of the luxurious and practically furnished hall of the facility has appeared on the company's profile on Twitter. It is in it that space tourists will wait for the flight and relax after an exciting flight. However, to be completely happy there is only one more, but the most important issue is tickets. Virgin Galactic has still not announced the official date of the first flight.

Experts predict that the progress of work in SpacePort America itself and related to the VSS Unity tests indicate the first commercial flight at the end of this year or at the beginning of 2020. The company still needs to finish everything to make tourist travel into space fully safe. If an accident happened, it would mean the end of business for the company. The decrease in customer confidence, suspension of flights for many months, huge financial losses would certainly be used by the competition in the form of the boss of Amazon and his company Blue Origin.
