  Want to take an out-of-this-world trip?Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic plans to make that possible.Beginning in 2009, people should have the opportunity to become space tourists, traveling at about 3,000 mph to heights about 75 miles above Earth.Branson has high hopes for his latest plans."It is just the start of what we believe will be a new age in the history of mankind-one day making the affordable exploration of space by human beings a real possibility," he said.

  At the start, though, the trip won't be cheap.Seats aboard Virgin's first craft-VSS Enterprise-will cost about $200,000.Prices could drop after the first hundred space flights.Despite the current ticket cost, more than 30,000 people-including celebrities(名人)Sigourney Weaver and Victoria Principal-have expressed interest in getting onboard.

  People who don't have an extra $200,000 still have a chance to get a seat aboard the craft.A computer game contest and a reality television show are in the works.Those who can't afford a ticket will have an opportunity to win a seat.

  Virgin is expected to be the first commercial spacecraft.It will hold six passengers and two pilots.Passengers will be able to see the Earth from many different viewpoints.The cabin will include 15 floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing for views that extend about 1,000 miles in any direction.

  Passengers will have three days of preflight preparation.On the big day, the spacecraft will take off from the Mojave Spaceport in the California desert.The craft will rocket passengers into space at four times the speed of sound.The journey will last about 2 1/2 hours.Passengers will wear spacesuits and helmets(头盔).They will be able to float around the cabin and do somersaults(空翻)during the five minutes of weightlessness they will experience in zero gravity.At the end of the flight, the craft will land on a runway.

(1)
