Blue Origin latest: Last-minute delay as Jeff Bezos’s space firm set to launch NASA mission to Mars

Blue Origin doesn’t advertise how much it charges to take people into space.

Its most high-profile flight to the edge of orbit took Katy Perry up – so you’d imagine being famous may help you get a seat.

But we do know how much other providers charge.

Virgin Galactic, Sir Richard Branson’s space tourism company, charges $450,000 (£356,000) for a ticket for a 90-minute trip to space.

According to Virgin Galactic, it’s a price people are willing to pay. “Demand is high”, the company’s website says, with several hundred customers already in line to fly.

Space Perspective, which will use a balloon to take people to the edge of space, charges $125,000 (£94,724) per seat.

According to reports, Axiom Space charges $28m (£21m) but takes tourists on a roughly two-week trip – instead of just going to the edge of space and back.
