Good news, future space travelers: Now you can enter the void without bringing your wallet.
U.K. business magnate Richard Branson announced Friday that his commercial space travel venture, Virgin Galactic, will allow customers to pay for their flights with the digital currency Bitcoin.
“Virgin Galactic is a company looking into the future, so is Bitcoin. So it makes sense we would offer Bitcoin as a way to pay for your journey to space.” Branson wrote in a blog post.
“A lot of the people who have joined Bitcoin are tech-minded people, as are many of our current future astronauts.”
