In their words
“If you look at all the spaceports today, you have your runways and your hangars, the vehicle preparation facilities and launch pad, but there's no passenger terminal. And so really, [Orbite] is focused on building that first passenger terminal for space.”
“Right now, if you want to go to orbit around the planet, it's 50 [to] 90 million dollars, but within the next couple of years, that will drop to around 10 million dollars.”
