To launch the ship, a VSS Unity aircraft will lift it into the air. Then the ship will separate and start its engines, which will bring it to the boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. Space tourists will spend 90 minutes there, including in zero gravity.
The ticket price is $450,000, including a $150,000 deposit.
