In August, Virgin Galactic’s space travel began to sell tickets again, but at that time the single-seater ticket price had increased from the original US$250,000 to US$450,000. Despite this, the enthusiasm of the wealthy to buy tickets is still high. Not long ago, VG announced that they have sold 100 tickets since the price increase. So far, VG will only open ticket eligibility to people who have paid a $1,000 (refundable) deposit. Currently, about 700 people, including Elon Musk, have reserved seats for space travel. From the beginning of 2022, VG ​​plans to provide more people with the opportunity to reserve seats.

But having said that, Virgin Galactic just confirmed not long ago that the transfer time of the space travel agency that has been postponed once will be pushed back by another quarter, which means that passengers will not be able to make the trip until the fourth quarter of 2022 at the earliest.
