JUPITER, Fla. (AP) When people told Kellie Gerardi to shoot for the stars, they didn’t think she’d be so literal about it.
But she took it seriously, and the 32-year-old Jupiter woman is heading to space.
Gerardi will be aboard a future space flight on the VSS Unity out of New Mexico. The price point for the trip, operated by Virgin Galactic, is about $600,000, she said.
Virgin founder Richard Branson on Sunday completed the initial Unity flight, which lasted about 15 minutes.
Some of the details of the research mission are still under wraps, like the date and exactly where the flight will go, but Gerardi said she doesn’t have an ounce of nervousness about the trip.
