Commercial flights to space will began in 2019 and according to sources, tickets will cost between $200,000 and $300,000. The company’s New Shepard vehicle is designed to autonomously fly six passengers more than 62 miles (100 km) above Earth into suborbital space. The height is enough to experience a few minutes of weightlessness and see the curvature of the planet before the pressurized capsule returns to earth under parachutes. The capsule consists of six observation windows where passengers can catch a glimpse of the earth from space.
Also in the commercial race to space, is Tesla boss, Elon Musk, who plans is to colonize the Mars. Elon plans to offer point-to-point travel on Earth by blasting passengers into orbit and putting any city within an hour’s flight of anywhere else.
