Yet soon, of course, we will have private space vehicles, on which we can surf the interstellar spaces. But very soon, anyone (who has a certain amount of money, of course) will be able to go even in the Middle, but in space. Indeed, the first private spaceport, Spaceport America, a corporation created by Virgin Galactic, has already opened.

Just two years ago, we told you about the start of construction in the desert in the U.S. state of New Mexico Space Port Spaceport America. So the other day this amazing object was put into operation.
 The draft project was the building itself by Norman Foster, the most famous architect of our days. Spaceport has an area of ​​11 thousand square meters. They settle down for the administration of the building space and space travel, as well as a hangar, a two-class spacecraft White Knight Two (aircraft carrier), and two ships of the class SpaceShipTwo (the actual space shuttle).
 As expected, the first passenger flight on these ships will be carried out at the end of 2012. But now all assembled and four hundred people who paid 200,000 U.S. dollars for the right to make a suborbital flight, the project Virgin Galactic.
 In addition to providing space tourists the opportunity to commit suborbital flights, Virgin Galactic plans to carry out another audacious project. He will be based in spaceport Spaceport America. At least at first.
 This project involves high-speed transcontinental passenger flights. Its main goal - flight between London and Sydney (17 000 miles) in just four hours. To achieve this goal will be used the same technique as for suborbital flights. Carrier aircraft White Knight Two lifts shuttle SpaceShipTwo to an altitude of 15 kilometers above the ground, then let him, and he has himself raised to a height of 100-110 km, where the flies at a speed of 4,000 kilometers per hour. Given the fact that the Earth's rotation, and just typed 17 000 miles in four hours or more.
