“More than 500 people have already reserved seats — and paid deposits on the $200,000 ticket price — for a minutes-long suborbital flight on the SpaceShipTwo (SS2) set to begin by the end of this year. ‘We have reduced the (carbon emission) cost of somebody going into space from something like two weeks of New York’s electricity supply… to less than the cost of a economy round-trip from Singapore to London,’ Branson told reporters in Singapore. The SS2′s lightweight carbon-fibre body will also ‘reduce fuel burn dramatically’, he said.”
