Virgin Galactic to offer Internet service in space
Thursday, August 18, 2011 - 4:30pm
So there you are, flying up into space with Virgin Galactic, when you decide you want to check your email. Well, good news! You'll be able to. In space.
Yes, Virgin Galactic is offering up Wi-Fi on SpaceShipTwo, allowing passengers to tweet about their experiences from sub-orbit. I'm assuming they won't charge $12 for the right to get online, either, seeing as tickets are a cool $200,000 just to get on board. Man, if they give you free champagne as well I might just have to sign up for a frequent flier miles account.
