You've waited your whole life for this flight, and now the time has come to take the ride of a lifetime. Your day begins with a special breakfast and a brief photo shoot. Then you board the Rocketplane to begin a ride that will forever change your life & your perception of Earth.

The Rocketplane XP begins down the runway at the Oklahoma Spaceport and lifts its wheels off the concrete. Taking off just like a conventional business jet, the XP climbs rapidly using its air-breathing engines. Within minutes, you reach an altitude of over 20,000 feet. At this point the pilot ignites the powerful rocket engine, pulling up into a nearly vertically climb. The rocket engine burns for approximately 70 seconds, accelerating the Rocketplane XP to more than 3500ft/s.

As the engines cut off you feel the sensation of weightlessness as the vehicle soars up into space. Out of the window is a spectacular view of Earth, a view that only a select group of people have ever seen before. Within minutes you begin the descent. Under the load of several Gs pushing you down into your seat, you are on the roller coaster ride of all time. The Rocketplanes XP's specially designed thermal protection system safely transfers away the heat re-entry, slowing your descent.
