The identity of the crew and the passengers of Virgin Galactic’s third commercial flight to space is not yet known.
The three passengers on Galactic 03 are said to be ‘founding astronauts’, which suggests they may not have paid much for their tickets on this commercial flight to space. The aforementioned Galactic 03 crew has purchased their ticket on this commercial flight to space since 2005.
Currently, Virgin Galactic is selling the spaceflight tickets for $450,000. The price of a seat on the commercial flight to space has gone up several times over the past years.
It was reported by The Science Times that the launch of the third commercial flight to space can be watched live on VirginGalactic.com.
