Just read this news report about Virgins new space flight:



Space tourism closer as Virgin Galactic nears lift off (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12909071)





Looking at the pics, it is clearly not a new spacecraft, as evidence I give you two pics:

You've deduced his cunning plan. It's not going into space at all, they just bung you in, then when you're not looking they drop a black sheet with pinholes in it over the windows. Add a few flashing lights, and that'll be £100,000 per go, thanks...

He won the Ansari X Prize back in 2004, was defiantly going to be tourists by 2010. What's he playing at? May be realising that people might be hacked off paying £190000 for 10 mins of vomiting.
