If you've always dreamed of traveling into space but don't have the time to train as an astronaut, you could be in luck as the first 'out of this world' trips become available online.

Aerospace company XCOR Space Expeditions is offering journeys to the Thermosphere, the outermost layer of the atmosphere, from several space ports in America, including Mojave in California, Midland in Texas and Kennedy Space Center in Florida, as well as the airport on Curaçao Island.

Journeys last as long as 60 minutes but there is only about five minutes that's actually spent in space with the space craft spending most of the time gliding back to Earth. (XCOR Expedition)

While the time actually spent in space is as little as five minutes, prices are an astounding $150,000 with departure dates from 2017. The journeys are currently being listed, with fluctuating prices, on holiday booking site Kayak.

In order to find the journeys, users must input Mojave’ or ‘Curaçao’ as the departure point with Thermosphere as the destination.

Although dates and prices are listed on Kayak, they are not confirmed as travelers must book through XCOR.
