Space Travel

Finally, we can believe in our wildest dreams again.

  • Ever wanted to be a brain surgeon…a rock star… an astronaut?
  • No luck on the brain surgeon or rock star front?
  • We can make your astronaut dreams come true

Spencer Travel is one of only a handful of Accredited Space Agents in Australia. We offer you the chance to be one of Earth’s first civilian astronauts on a Virgin Galactic space ship.

Commercial flights will commence following the inaugural flight carrying Richard Branson and his family in late 2008.

“We hope to create thousands of astronauts over the next few years and bring alive the dream of seeing the majestic beauty of our planet from above, the stars in all their glory, and the amazing sensations of weightlessness and space flight”
Richard Branson
