This time they are selling Space travel to the New Zealanders. Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic is appointing agents around the world to sell seats on its SpaceShipTwo space flights - expected to take off by 2009.

Agencies must apply to become Galactic accredited, to be able to sell the tickets, so many are considering sending the proposals.

So far, 150 seats have been sold worldwide for the flights, which will take six passengers at a time into space at a cost of US$200,000.

Adventure lovers and explorers of New Zealand are bound to be interested.
