Space Tourism Pioneer Revives Business With New Ship
Virgin Galactic has unveiled its new six-passenger Delta-class ship, which will undergo months of testing in New Mexico. The company aims to revive its space tourism business, which was put on hold after retiring its previous plane in 2024. With 675 customers having reserved tickets priced at $750,000, Virgin Galactic faces significant financial and technical hurdles in a niche market. The company’s future success may depend on its ability to overcome these challenges, as reported by the Los Angeles Times.
