The deck of the spaceship looks quite futuristic.
It brings to mind vehicles from sci-fi movies.
However, this is real.
There are 6 automatically adjustable seats.
During a supersonic flight, they position themselves in such a way that passengers feel as little overload as possible.
Every tourist will be able to look at the Earth through a large window.
There is also room for many smaller windows in the hull.
The whole thing is to give the impression of swimming in space. The windows of the cabin are surrounded by handles, which the company calls "halo".
They make it easier for customers to settle down in the armchairs.
There are 16 high-resolution cameras on board, some of which are built into halos, allowing customers to take selfies with the Earth in the background.
There is a large tinted mirror at the rear of the cabin, allowing customers to see themselves “illuminated by the natural brightness of the Earth.” “In many ways, the cabin is at the heart of the design of this transformative journey.
It is this cabin that will allow hundreds and then thousands of people to embark on one of the most unforgettable journeys of their lives, "said Michael Colglazier, former executive director of Disney. Virgin Galactic has yet to disclose when it intends to conduct its first flight with space tourists, but experts believe
that it will happen 100 percent later this year.
It is highly likely that it could be at Christmas.
In recent months, VSS Unity and the mother ship have arrived in Spaceport America, New Mexico, from which they will take off into space. Earlier this year, the company unveiled its "One Small Step" program, under which prospective customers could deposit $ 1,000.
to have priority in purchasing tickets when they go on sale.
So far, over 400 people have registered.
This shows how much interest there is in space tourism. Virgin Galactic plans to carry out ship launches even every two days to meet the demand.
Experts estimate that when the first flights take place and are successful, the number of customers may increase to several thousand, then the company will have its hands full.
More ships are already in production, so there is no need to worry that tourists will have to wait for their flight for years. The company also announced that it has conducted training for the first tourists.
The project is handled by Uder Armor.
This is not only to check the appropriate procedures, but also to obtain valuable data that will later increase the quality of experience during flights and ensure the safety of passengers.
