UK - Farnborough - Virgin Galactic astronauts with SpaceShipTwo model

Some of the 529 (correct at July 2012) signed up Virgin Galactic astronauts gather by SpaceShipTwo model for another announcement by company executives at a PR event during the Farnborough Air Show. Virgin Galactic is one of the leading potential space tourism groups, is planning to begin passenger service aboard the VSS Enterprise, a Scaled Composites SpaceShipTwo type spacecraft. The initial seat price is $200,000, with a required down payment of $20,000. Headed by Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group, Virgin Galactic hopes to be the first private space tourism company to regularly send civilians into space. A citizen astronaut will only require three days of training before spaceflight.
