Virgin Galactic’s first space tourists finally soar …

”That was by far the most awesome thing I’ve ever done in my life,” said Jon Goodwin. Goodwin, 80, was among the first to buy a Virgin Galactic ticket in 2005 and feared, after later being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, that he’d be out of luck … Ticket prices were $200,000 when Goodwin signed up. The cost is now $450,000.

That’s inflation for ya.
