Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic ventures are being eyed by many as a wonderful way of reaching to space. And the ones who have money in their pockets can relish the opportunity. So, they can treat their eyes with this one time opportunity.

It so happened that three years ago, a customer of the Virgin Galactic booked a ticket to fly into space. He bought a $200 000 (R2.4-million) ticket. He chose the poor man's option as that needed only 10% deposit. Before the dream of flying aboard to space would be realized, he would have to pay the remaining $180 000 balance.

He is not the only person to fall into this set. The first bunch of 500 flyers does not even include celebrities like Justin Bieber and Formula One legend Michael Schumacher. He falls in the same category of these celebrities. So, it seems that Branson has offered an opportunity where the ticket to the space is a bargain.

The first family to board the very first commercial flight is the Virgin Group chairman Branson's family. This is round the corner as it can most probably happen as early as Christmas. Well, this customer with a bargained ticket would fly to space in 2015.
