The spaceflight company Virgin Galactic has received nearly 8，000 online reservations of interest since its first successful test flight 14 months ago. The company reported this week on the number of people reserving seats for future space flights as it nears commercial operation and prepares to reopen ticket sales. Virgin Galactic already had more than 600 confirmed reservations， from people in 60 countries， before the December 2018 test flight. It then delayed ticket sales.
On Wednesday the company announced that it would begin a process called “One Small Step”. It is for those online registrants who are serious about becoming passenger astronauts. They are now required to pay $1，000 toward the cost of their flights. Virgin Galactic says they will get the money back if they change their minds. Confirming a spaceflight reservation will be a process called “One Giant Leap” and those are the words American astronaut Neil Armstrong said when he became the first person to set foot on the Moon in 1969.
Virgin Galactic did not say when the new set of seats would be released. The company set the cost of the first set of seats at $250，000 each. Virgin Galactic spent years developing and testing its space flight technology at Mojave Air
