02 Virgin Galactic Space Ship 2
Notice the windows in the roof.
After climbing for about an hour, slung beneath a (more or less) conventional aircraft, Space Ship 2 is released at around 50,000 feet. After release - with half the atmosphere below it - the rocket motor kicks in and it climbs to around 360,000 feet. That's about 33,000 feet above the Kármán line, where space is generally agreed to begin.
At maximum altitude you get "a few minutes" of floating around weightless and admiring the now-black sky above. Which is where the roof windows come in.
All this for only $200,000 a ticket. Book now!
