Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic plans to send
450 into space in 2012, each paying $200,000 for five-minute trips into
sub-orbital space.
Allianz will offer space travel insurance, although
price and cover is being kept secret in case rivals want the market too.
No insurer is going to make much money out of it,
but it has huge global publicity value.
The policy is likely to include medical cover.
