自從創辦人Richard Branson完成首趟太空旅遊後,維珍銀河(Virgin Galactic)隨即喺8月重新接受訂購,結果銷情比預期理想,唔夠3個月就賣出約100張售價為45萬美元(約350萬港幣)嘅太空機票。事實證明,確實有唔少富豪唔介意用幾百萬換十零分鐘太空體驗。
日前維珍銀河表示,公司由開業至共賣出700張機票,其中大約100張係今年8月起所收到嘅訂單,而且每張售價為45萬美元(約350萬港幣),遠早於早先嗰600張所定嘅20-25萬美元,據聞Elon Musk都買咗一張。
I was once a child with a dream looking up to the stars. Now I'm an adult in a spaceship looking down to our beautiful Earth. To the next generation of dreamers: if we can do this, just imagine what you can do https://t.co/Wyzj0nOBgX #Unity22 @virgingalactic pic.twitter.com/03EJmKiH8V — Richard Branson (@richardbranson) July 11, 2021

維珍銀河CEO Michael Colglazier就表示,自Richard Branson完成太空之旅後,就多咗好多人聯絡公司表示有興趣,售票速度亦超出預期,預計2022年底開始能夠每個月都飛一次,送更多人上太空。
