Virgin Galactic unveiled the design of what a plane that can take non-astronauts into space will look like. Check out the article and video here.
If you watch the video, you'll see exactly how you'd be transported into space. The middle plane in the above picture detaches in mid-air, then rockets into the upper atmosphere and into outer space. Then, it simply drops back down onto Earth and, after adjusting its wings, settles in for a (hopefully) nice landing.
The astronomical ticket price aside ($200,000—I'm assuming this is for a round trip), I would feel hesitant, to say the least, to go on a space ride anytime soon.
