You will leave from and return to the same spaceport, so this is a domestic flight but one that will take you faster than a speeding bullet and to over 60 miles from the Earth's surface and into the blackness of space. You will be able to see a thousand miles in any direction through the spaceship's big windows and marvel at the beauty of the planet below you surrounded by the fragile atmosphere that supports all life.
