Virgin Galactic has said they are to release more tickets for flights into space as there is a surge in demand.
Sir Richard Branson’s company has received around 8,000 registrations for future space flights.
The company announced on Wednesday they are accepting $1,000 non-refundable deposits and tickets retail at $250,000 each.
“We have been greatly encouraged by the ongoing and increasing demand seen from around the world for personal spaceflight,” said Stephen Attenborough, Virgin Galactic’s commercial director.
