In space, Hawking will go on the ship company Virgin Galactic.

British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking plans to go into space in the spaceship company Virgin Galactic.

He stated in the programme Good Morning Britain on ITV.

“My three children brought me great joy. And I can tell you what will make me happy – a journey into space. I thought no I will not take back, but Richard Branson (owner of Virgin Group) offered me a place in Virgin Galactic, and I immediately answered “Yes”, – quotes the words of Hawking Daily Mail.

As previously reported, NASA will help Hawking with the development of spacecraft StarChip capable of moving with the speed equal to 20% of the speed of light .
