Apparently the only motive in Sir Richard Branson’s life is to take people for a ride, well literally! This millionaire had earlier introduced private shuttles for people to dive deep into the deep blue sea and explore the unimaginable and now he is all set to commercialize the journeys into the deep blue sky.

This trend is catching up and it is the latest fad, a number of companies are battling it out to reserve the maximum number of passengers. Starchasers is another company that promises you to take you beyond the stars. This British company is owned by Steve Bennet and the leading astronaut Matt Shrewbridge, they are planning their first space expedition. You won’t believe what people are willing to pay for a rush of adrenalin, two tourists paid £250,000 each to reserve the first seats. The other seats in Starchasers are available at relatively less price, £98,000 excluding taxes.

They promise an experience of a lifetime, you will get to see the dark nebulous space from the windows, the bright curvature of the earth and of course, the zero gravity condition won’t spare you! They will fly in 2015 but before that they will run some general medical tests and a mock up of the take off is expected to happen some time by the mid of next year.
