Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo, built from lightweight composite materials and powered by a hybrid rocket motor, is going to be displayed in America’s Mojave Desert. 300 clients have paid the 200,000 dollar ticket to ride in the first commercial passenger spaceship. Slated for rollout Monday, a “theatrical unveiling” is in the works. Virgin Galactic anticipates spending over $400 million for a fleet of five commercial spaceships and launch vehicles.
