The world's first civilian passenger spacecraft is on show at Farnborough International Airshow this week. ZDNet went down to check out the full-size replica of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo, which could be taking its first passengers to the edge of space as early as next year
From as early as the end of 2013, Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo could be taking civilians into space.
The two-hour trip will cost a cool $200,000 (£129,000), but it will buy passengers a few minutes of weightlessness as the ship travels to the edge of space, 60 miles above the earth.
This full-scale replica of SpaceShipTwo is on show at the Farnborough International Airshow in Hampshire, England all this week.
