Oh, and $450,000 is the 'starting price' for one seat.
Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. said Thursday it is selling seats on its space-tourism flights for $450,000 and up, and reported a “surge in consumer interest” following its initial suborbital flight.
“As we endeavor to bring the wonder of space to a broad global population, we are delighted to open the door to an entirely new industry and consumer experience,” Chief Executive Michael Colglazier said in a statement. The stock jumped more than 5% in the extended session Thursday despite a wider-than-expected quarterly loss for the space company.
Virgin’s next spaceflight is targeted for late September, the company said. As previously disclosed, the flight will be a paid mission for the Italian Air Force.
