Well, duh. Some ridiculously high price for 7 minutes of microgravity (or whatever) is bullshit. You don't even reach the Kármán line (100 km)! They redefined some other threshold at 80 km just so you could say you went to space. Hint: if you have to redefine a common, long-agreed term, you're not adhering to the letter or the spirit of the law/guideline.
It's orbit or GTFO.

The trip to space costs 750,000 US dollars 💰. At the end of 2024, the company announced that around 650 customers were waiting for their flight.

Cioè, ma lo sapevate che Virgin Galactic sta considerando l'idea di aprire uno spazioporto in Italia? Finora l'unico è in USA.
Personalmente adoro Richard Branson, mi sa un uomo veramente illuminato ed umano
