Want Feel Weightless? Virgin Takes You There

31 Aug, 2010, 2:30 pm IST | by tech2 News Staff |

Virgin Galactic is making losing all your weight possible. For those that can afford a $200,000 USD ticket and pass through their three-day test of stomaching the propulsion into space, their Spaceport in New Mexico, USA is welcoming people from all walks of life, from teens to their grandmothers.

A little over 340 passengers with Virgin Galactic will experience 3.5 Gs of force as they jet into space at 2,600 mph, reaching an altitude of 360,000 feet and staying there for five minutes.
