seemed the stuff of science fiction a decade ago, but today it is possible to send tourists into space. Virgin Galactic, the hands of her millionaire owner Sir Richard Branson , released this Monday in California's Mojave Desert the first commercial spacecraft, designed for those who can pay $ 200,000 (134,000 euros) for a trip to outer space. For the moment, according to figures provided by the company, some 300 adventurers have been quick to pay a total of $ 60 million (40 million euros) to secure a place in the new model, dubbed SS2 (SpaceShip Two) and designed by aerospace engineer Burt Rutan , the same as achieved put into orbit the first spacecraft designed by a private firm.
