You know what they say, "Life is short, buy the tickets." In this case, the tickets will cost you $450,000 but you'll get a 90-minute trip into outer space out of it.

Virgin Galactic opened up ticket sales on Wednesday for their upcoming space voyages. The company, which was created by Sir Richard Branson, is charging $450,000 per person, but only requiring a $150,000 down payment.


The flight will last 90 minutes and will reach speeds of over 2600 mph. The spaceship will take four people on the trip that will leave from New Mexico.

If you choose to buy a ticket, it will come with other perks such as a membership to Virgin Galactic's community of Future Astronauts, which offers exclusive events, trips, and space-readiness activities.
