Virgin Galactic space tourism flights are scheduled to begin this year . I was sort of projecting that as I stood inside the spaceship . The company is hoping that the first commercial flight will take place in 2015 and it hopes to have a fleet of planes ready for service by 2016. 700 people have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars each to be passengers . Stephen Hawking , Justin Bieber , Leonardo DiCaprio and Ashton Kutcher reportedly are on the passenger list .
