The "cheapest" ticket to space on this list still costs more than most people's houses.

$450,000

The Item

SpaceShipTwo carries passengers to the edge of space for a few minutes of weightlessness before gliding back to a runway landing.

A far shorter and cheaper experience than an orbital mission, but still entirely out of reach for the vast majority of people on Earth.

Why It's Obscene

At $450,000 a seat, it's positioned as the "accessible" option on this list.

Hundreds of people have still paid it — proving that even the discount version of leaving the planet is a luxury reserved for a tiny fraction of humanity.
