With a Branson publication explained that one passenger, (a stewardess from Hawaii), has already purchased a ticket from Virgin Galactic using bitcoins and "many more are expected to follow in her footsteps."
Ο Branson began shortly after praising the digital currency: "Bitcoins have not yet been officially recognized by governments as a currency, but with some regulation I hope they will be widely accepted."

Branson, his wife Holly and son Sam will be among the passengers for the maiden trip της εταιρείας. Η πτήση κοστίζει 250.000 δολάρια ή 329 bitcoins με την τιμή που είχαν την Παρασκευή ( 759 δολάρια).
