Beyond the 600 who have paid $250,000 for a seat, thousands more indicated their interest in such a reservation without paying anything. Virgin Galactic now asks them to pay $1000 to simply confirm their intent. Called "One Small Step," it's not a firm reservation and it won't put you into VG's future astronauts club.
But if you do One Small Step, you will have first crack at "One Giant Leap" when Virgin Galactic officially releases new seats. Heads up: the final price will be more than the original $250,000.
But the honor of being the very First Commercial Passenger is no longer available. That premier spot was taken by the founder himself, Richard Branson. He publicly said that he will be the first.
