Dubai resident all set for Virgin Galactic space tourism flight ‘in a few months’ – The National
A Dubai resident who has waited 17 years to fly on Virgin Galactic’s space tourism flight, says her time to blast off to the stars is now only a few months away.
Namira Salim, 52, was the first Pakistani and UAE resident to buy a suborbital flight ticket from Sir Richard Branson’s company in 2006, earning her the title of Founder Astronaut.
She paid $200,000, less than half the $450,000 which is reportedly what a seat on the flight costs now.
