Space trip for only 95,000$ Xcor Lynx
An American travel agency intends to compete with Virgin Galactic of English Richard Branson, offering trips into space for 95,000 dollars.
On marketingway we had already spoken and now Xcor Lynx were booked 22 flights, with the first scheduled for 2011, after tests in 2010. The flight, for one person only, will be made on a small private jet, designed to take off and land like a normal plane, and fly at an altitude of 61 km, near the international limit of space.
The difference with Virgin Galactic is the lack of opportunity to unfasten their seat belts and float the aircraft, while the Lynx was alone with the pilot, to observe the space from the flight command.
