UK - Farnborough - Virgin Galactic astronaut seats

Empty seats to be filled by upcoming astronauts at a PR event by Virgin Galactic. Virgin Galactic, 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. To date, 529 people have signed up. 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.
