Branson Reaches Space on Virgin Galactic Flight

Nearly two decades after founding Virgin Galactic, Sir Richard Branson has made it to space, in a flight that could signify the start of space tourism. Brason was along for the ride when SpaceShipTwo VSS Unity reached space on July 11 in a pre-commercial, test flight.  This was Virgin Galactic’s fourth crewed spaceflight, but its first mission with a full crew. Branson flew with three other Virgin Galactic mission specialists, including Sirisha Bandla, the company’s vice president of government affairs.  VSS Unity achieved a speed of Mach 3 after being released from the mothership, VMS Eve. The vehicle reached space, at an altitude of 53.5 miles, and the crew experienced a few moments of weightlessness. VSS Unity closed the flight by landing at Spaceport America in New Mexico.

Is Virgin Galactic the Ultimate Thrill Ride?

Is Virgin Galactic the Ultimate Thrill Ride? July 11, 2021, 7:30 PM · British billionaire Sir Richard Branson blasted into space this morning in his Virgin Galactic Unity spaceplane. Virgin Galactic is run by former Disneyland President Michael Colglazier and recently hired former Imagineer Joe Rohde as its Experience Architect, so the the company has strong connections to the theme park industry. And that makes sense. Because what Branson is trying to do with Virgin Galactic is as much Disney as it is NASA. Virgin Galactic will be taking customers in a rocket-propelled spaceplane to an altitude over 50 miles, which NASA and the US military consider the boundary of space. That s still short of the 62-mile Karman line that other international authorities consider the border, but it s high enough to see the sky turn black, the Earth s horizon curve below you and for passengers to experience a few minutes of weightlessness at the peak of their suborbital, parabolic flight.
