Sub-orbital flights.

Deep Blue Aerospace used a livestream on Chinese e-commerce site Taobao to sell two seats on its first sub-orbital flights for just ¥1,000,000 ($140,000) – a deep discount, given future flights are expected to cost ¥1,500,000 ($210,000) per seat. The discount is understandable, given the flight is not expected to launch for another three years or so.
Tickets will cost 1.5 million RMB apiece — about $210,000 U.S. at current exchange rates. For that price, customers will get "much more than a brief weightlessness experience," Deep Blue wrote in a statement on Wednesday. (Translation to English by Google.) "They will experience the vastness and mystery of the universe and witness the magnificent landscape beyond the Earth. This will be an all-round, multi-sensory space journey that will be unforgettable for a lifetime."
