Feedback at 5:00- Would You Travel in Space?

Posted: Updated:

Space travel has been making headlines a lot lately.

Yesterday, the Shuttle Enterprise made it to it's final destination in New York City after the retirement of the shuttle program.

Recently, the world's first privately owned spacecraft to the International Space Station made a successful voyage.

It's sparking interest in the chance for hundreds of adventurous tourists to take the ultimate trip.

It costs about $200,000 for a flight on Virgin Galactic's Space Ship 2.

You don't need any special training, just a big payment to get in line for the 2 and a half hour flight. It's 68 miles high with up to 5 minutes of weightlessness.

For tonight's "Feedback at 5:00" we wanted to know if you had the opportunity to travel in space, would you and why?
