Keisha Schahaff, a health coach from Antigua and Barbuda, said she wanted to take the flight into Earth's orbit with her 17-year-old daughter, a science student living in Britain who dreams of one day working for NASA.
A health coach from the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda has won two tickets worth almost $1 million to be among Virgin Galactic's first space tourists, the company said Wednesday.
Keisha Schahaff, 44, said she wanted to take the flight into Earth's orbit with her 17-year-old daughter, a science student living in Britain who dreams of one day working for NASA.
Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson surprised Schahaff with the news at her home in Antigua and Barbuda in early November.
"I just thought I was doing a zoom interview," she told AFP.
