Chief Test Pilot for XCOR Aerospace and Lynx, Col. Rick Searfoss (USAF Ret.) is among America’s most popular and highly qualified astronauts. A fighter pilot, test pilot and astronaut, Col. Searfoss is one of only seven people with more than 50 flights in rocket powered vehicles. His first space flight in 1993 set the record for the longest duration Space Shuttle mission. Early RocketShip Tours participants will have the privilege and distinction of personally reaching the edge of space in the co-pilot seat next to Col. Searfoss.
Personal Journeys to the Edge of Space
The flight profile of Lynx provides an exciting and enriching personal space experience which promises to be the ride of your life. The two-seat Lynx vehicle takes off horizontally from a runway with a powerful ascent reaching Mach 2 on its way to 200,000 feet. The inky blackness of space and spectacular view of Earth’s curvature are unforgettable sights while experiencing weightlessness at apogee.
Since words alone can’t describe this journey to the edge of space, Participants will be presented with a personalized high definition DVD recorded by onboard cameras and other mementos of their historic status as pioneering space tourists.
The total cost of the Lynx flight experience is $95,000. This includes a five night stay at a luxury resort during training and preparation, medical evaluation and screening, the cancellation insurance policy, and of course the Lynx flight itself, which promises to be the greatest ride off Earth. A deposit of $20,000 begins the process of assigning the Participant to the training and qualification program.
