Joel Johnsonand I were at a preview of Wired ’s Next Fest , and saw a little nose cone hiding behind a head covering . We mount back , and discovered an empty space ship . A Virgin Galactic SpaceShipOne replica sitting on a trailer , actually . It was so cunning , Joel make up one’s mind to climb up and give it a hug .
This break of day , Sir Richard Branson will uncover the first mock ups ever seen of SpaceShipTwo ’s interior cabin . The layout : two buffer and 6 very rich space tourists / astronaut . Mockups ? We ’ve got em here .
The cabin was design by Seymour Powell , known for Baby - G daze vigil by Casio . The design of the six passenger seats is meant to recline all to minimize G forces on the body , appropriately enough . And eject them into the room during weightlessness in area . The way take care … padded , like the rooms in an harebrained psychiatric hospital . While they ’re floating , passenger can hold back out the eyeshot of earth and space through 15 oversize windows . And there ’s Scripture of passenger being able-bodied to take scientific experiment through intrumentation and handheld wireless seedcase ( whatever that means . ) Take off will take place at Virgin Galactic ’s New Mexico HQ , with discussions of bases in the UK , Sweden , and Australia .
Flights will take 2.5 hours , reaching over 110 km above Earth ’s surface , and each astronaut suffer 3 days of flying homework include with their $ 200,000 payment . That price’ll drop over time . Not before long enough for broke blogger like Joel and I.
