| [00:00.00] | It's 60 feet long, |
| [00:01.38] | made of lightweight, |

| [00:05.00] | out of this world and back. |
| [00:06.94] | The first commercial spaceship |
| [00:08.67] | was unveiled by Sir Richard Branson, |
| [00:10.39] | who hopes to start passenger trips within two years. |
| [00:13.50] | The price tag: 130,000 pounds. |
| [00:17.06] | "In time we hope to get that price down |

| [00:23.02] | 'Shall I take my family on holiday to the Caribbean |
| [00:26.48] | or maybe we should try space travel this year?' |
| [00:28.62] | That's our aim." |

| [00:46.17] | Space, as a tourist destination, |
| [00:48.57] | may be one step closer. |
