Space Vacations

We’re just a few days until Christmas and then the New Year so I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you a lovely holiday and a new year filled with peace and joy–and lots of travel!

I will be bringing you lots of travel news, tips, resources, and cheap trips in 2019. But in the meantime, the big news this week is that Virgin Galactic’s tourism spaceship made it into space!

The rocket ship was launched from California’s Mojave Desert a few days ago and reached the boundary of space and Mach 2.9 (3x the speed of sound) before returning to earth. What does this mean for travelers?

The company aims to take six passengers into space aboard their rocket ship in the near future, but the timeline is unclear at this time. There will be many more test flights before passengers take flight.

However, you may have to wait a while once Virgin Galactic does lift off with travelers aboard because nearly 1,000 people have already committed the $250,000pp fee for space rides aboard the six-passenger aircraft. The early rides will last only a few minutes, but eventually passengers may stay overnight in space and even enjoy extended space vacations. Hilton Hotels has already declared they will be the first hotel built in space.

Stay tuned for more space news and lots more travel information in the coming year!
