Virgin Galactic reopens ticket sales — for $450,000 per seat
CNN
Virgin Galactic says its re-opening ticket sales for the first time in years, giving anyone who can afford it the chance to reserve a seat on the company's rocket-powered suborbital space plane for $450,000, a significant markup over what tickets were previously sold for.
The news comes after Virgin Galactic (SPCE) founder Richard Branson took a supersonic joy ride aboard the space plane after more than a decade of pledging to be among the first to test out the technology, and the company now says it's prepared to begin commercial operations in 2022. Virgin Galactic says it will have three offerings: single-seat reservations (which will begin at $450,000), multi-seat reservations for families and friends, and an option to buy out all six seats on a given flight.A provocative new work from the artist behind that duct-taped banana tackles gun violence in America

On each clipboard, behind a blue cover to protect personal information, were documents and charts for patients who had visited the clinic to receive a medication abortion that day.
