[font=Georgia][color=Black]One Ticket to the Moon, Please!
When you want to take a trip to Italy or some other country, all you have to do is buy a plane ticket. An aeroplane can take you anywhere in the world.
Now, a company called Virgin Galactic wants to offer that same service to people who want to travel into space. The owner of Virgin Galactic is Sir Richard Branson. His team of scientists has already designed and built a vehicle for space travel. The name of that vehicle is SpaceShipOne. Recently, SpaceShipOne took a man into space and back to earth safely.
Virgin Galactic is now planning to build larger space vehicles that will carry more people. They believe that in the next three years, as many as three thousand passengers will want to try space travel and will pay the company for that service. Sir Richard said he hopes to create thousands of astronauts over the next few years.
A ticket for a ride into space will cost £100,000 (approximately HK$1,500,000).
