Doing business in Asia, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, and Russia.

Two Chinese, one man and one woman, whose names have been withheld, have signed on to pay $200,000 to take a 3.5 hour space flight on Virgin Galactic next year.

Virgin Galactic plans to send 520 people in to space in about 100 launches in its first year.

About 30 minutes will be spent in space with five minutes at zero gravity.

Let's see 210 minutes, at $200,000...that's almost $1,000/min. Some people have too much money.

Space tourism on government based shuttles cost $20 million. Typical of the government to charge too much, eh?

$200 grand is only 1% of that, hah?

Three days of pre-flight preparation is needed.

Would you pay $200,000 to fly into space if you had the money?
