China’s first outer space travel announced at $210,000 for 12-minute flight
Chinese space tourism is set to launch in 2027, with Deep Blue Aerospace offering seats priced at $210,000 each.
The company, acknowledging the “complexity and risks” of rocket technology, announced plans to carry out dozens of tests over the next two years to guarantee safety and reliability before launching commercial space tourism in 2027.
