Original title: The cost of going to space has dropped to just 2 bitcoins?

Tron founder Justin Sun completed the Blue Origin NS-34 suborbital space flight, which launched from the United States on August 3, 2025, lasting approximately 10 minutes. Justin Sun won the seat with a bidding price of 28 million dollars and finally realized his wish after several years.

With the rise of commercial space companies, ordinary people (non-professional astronauts) can also realize their space dreams, with a minimum cost of as low as 200,000 dollars to participate in space tourism, which is equivalent to the value of 2 BTC.

Next, we will introduce the channels for space travel that ordinary people can participate in by 2025, with the main platforms including Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, and SpaceX.

These platforms offer suborbital (briefly entering the edge of space) and orbital (around the Earth or to space stations) flights. The choice depends on budget, health, and time. Costs are usually over a million dollars, with waiting times ranging from a few months to several years, physical examinations are required, and training can take from a few days to a year.

Blue Origin: starting from $200,000

Blue Origin, founded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, offers New Shepard suborbital flights. The rocket takes off and lands vertically, with passengers experiencing about 10-11 minutes of weightlessness, reaching an altitude of 100 kilometers (the edge of space). It is suitable for first-time space experiences and has completed multiple crewed flights, such as the NS-34 mission involving Sun Yuchen.

The seats are available through auction or direct purchase, averaging between $200,000 and $450,000. Sun Yuchen's $28 million was a high auction price from several years ago, and now it's more affordable. After booking, users need to wait 6-12 months, depending on flight arrangements. The flight itself lasts only 10 minutes, with a total duration of 1 hour. In 2025, flight frequency will increase to several times a month.

In terms of physical requirements, you must be over 18 years old, with no severe heart disease, epilepsy, or pregnancy. You need to pass the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) medical examination, weigh between 50-100 kg, and have a height of 1.5-2 meters. There should be no extreme health issues. The training duration is 2-3 days, including safety briefings, simulated flights, and weightlessness adaptation. No professional skills are required, with a primary emphasis on mental preparation.

Users can click on the official website and fill in their identity information, etc. After submitting the form, a refundable deposit of $150,000 must be paid to officially initiate the booking process; however, payment does not guarantee a seat.

Virgin Galactic: Starting from $450,000

Virgin Galactic was founded by Richard Branson and uses the SpaceShipTwo rocket plane to provide suborbital flights. Passengers ascend after being released from the plane, experiencing 4-6 minutes of weightlessness at an altitude of approximately 90 kilometers. Several commercial flights have been completed so far.

The ticket price is approximately $450,000 (which may drop to $300,000-$400,000 in 2025). A deposit (about 20%) is required, with the remainder to be paid in full before training. After booking, there is a wait of 1-2 years (the queue is long), and the flight lasts 90 minutes.

Age 18-75, subject to medical evaluation, no high blood pressure, spinal issues, or acrophobia. Weight limit <110 kg, able to withstand 4-6G overload. Training duration is 3-5 days, including ground simulation, G-force tolerance testing, and emergency procedures. The focus is on adapting to high acceleration, no spacesuit training required.

Users need to visit the official website homepage, click the button in the upper right corner to submit personal information. The launch site is Spaceport America in New Mexico, USA. Passengers arrive at the spaceport several days in advance, stay in customized accommodations, and then participate in multi-day flight preparation training and health assessments. Finally, on the day of the flight, they will experience air launch with the "mothership + SpaceShipTwo" and enjoy a few minutes of microgravity floating time, admiring the curve of the Earth from the window.

SpaceX: 50 million USD

Led by Elon Musk, providing orbital flights such as Crew Dragon to Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Charter options are available (e.g., Wang Chun's Fram2) or join charity flights like Inspiration4. In the future, Starship will support further flights, but primarily Crew Dragon in 2025.

A single seat costs over 50 million USD (Wang Chun's charter may exceed 100 million USD). Prices will stabilize in 2025, but bulk flights can be reduced to 20-30 million USD per person. Preparation takes 1-3 years after booking, with flights lasting 3-5 days (circumnavigating the Earth). The launch window is affected by weather, and multiple missions have been completed in 2025.

Users must meet strict NASA standards, aged 18-60, with no chronic diseases, heart problems, or low bone density. They must pass a comprehensive physical examination, including vision and radiation resistance tests. Training lasts 3-6 months and includes simulator, zero-gravity flight, and survival training. They must learn spacecraft operation, with high intensity.

In April 2025, F2Pool co-founder Chun Wang completed SpaceX's Fram2 mission, chartering the entire Crew Dragon spacecraft as a cryptocurrency billionaire to conduct the first manned flight around the Earth's polar orbit, lasting 3 days, 14 hours, and 32 minutes. He became the first person in space to hold Bitcoin and also the first Chinese person to enter polar orbit.

SpaceX offers a tab called "Human Spaceflight" on its official website. The page showcases the types of flights available for booking: Earth orbit, International Space Station (ISS), lunar, and Mars missions. Users can click to join a mission and submit their personal information.

The threshold for ordinary people to fly into space is lowering. Suborbital flights (like Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic) are more accessible, costing between $200,000 to $450,000 with shorter training; orbital flights (like SpaceX) are riskier, costing tens of millions with longer training. Overall, it’s necessary to plan finances in advance and comply with FAA/NASA regulations. Physical health is key, and it’s advisable to consult a doctor; in terms of timing, the 2025 cohort on the platforms has shortened, but popular platforms still require patience.
