Virgin Galactic is on the verge of forever changing the face of human space flight. Yesterday they rolled out EVE which is one of the two ships needed to send private astronauts in to space for $200,000 per ticket.

With Virgin Galactic rolling out WhiteKnightTwo on Monday we thought it would be fun to highlight the Virgin Galactic experience. This animation shows what it will be like to takeoff, drop from WhiteKNightTwo, blast in to space aboard SpaceShipTwo, feel what it is like in microgravity for 4 to 5 minutes and then land again safely on the ground.
