Virgin Galactic is about to send three private passengers to space, including the first mother-daughter-duo and first Olympian to do so. Richard Branson's spaceflight company is set to send 80-year-old Olympic slalom canoeist Jon Goodwin to space on Thursday, alongside wellness coach Keisha Schahaff and her daughter Anastatia Mayers, flying thanks to a competition run by nonprofit Space for Humanity. Goodwin bought his ticket soon after the launch of Virgin Galactic so he could have paid anywhere between $250,000 and $450,000, which is what you'd pay today if you were so inclined.
