Before we spill the news on the price, remember that you are buying a ticket to the future. A seat on Richard Branson\u2019s Virgin Galactic is way more than the $900 price of entry to \u201cSilicon Valley Legends.\u201d For another perspective, sometimes a plane ticket from New York to San Francisco costs $900. The organization that holds the tour, Silicon Valley Innovation Center, also leads a regular Friday Tech Tour. On that, participants are immersed in a world of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, drones, robots, and 3-D printing for $475. After the tour, you might report finding the world you wake-up in on the verge of something big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future is here. But maybe you\u2019re just not feeling it. Do you, for example, still close your own car doors manually? The one-day \u201cSilicon Valley Legends\u201d tour will put that tired routine to bed, at least for an hour at Tesla<\/strong>, where the Model X<\/em> will be demoed. The doors open when the fob-carrying you approaches the car. Say what? The X\u2019s dash also sports a bio-weapon defense button, which isn\u2019t nearly as scary as it sounds. It filters the air within the cabin to a pristine medical-grade purity \u2026 no matter what\u2019s happening outside, as Tesla<\/strong> states online. All right, that might be a little scary. A Googler will continue the tour of the future into the campus known as Googleplex<\/strong>. Later, you\u2019ll meet Sofia whose full name is Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy. In layman-of-the-past\u2019s terms, a former United Airlines plane has been outfitted with a 20-ton, 100-foot telescope. It flies 45,000-feet above capturing clear images of black holes and shadows of Neptune\u2019s moon (no selfies sent back yet, as far as we know).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we spill the news on the price, remember that you are buying a ticket to the future.
