First space flight for Virgin Galactic, paves the way for Space Tourism

SpaceShipTwo reached a peak altitude of 51.4 miles (82.7 kilometers) during a test flight on Dec. 13. This could pave the way for passenger flights in the coming months.


After watching VSS Unity, the first Spaceship built for regular passenger service soar into Space, Richard pens a heartfelt letter to his grandchildren.

 "I used to think of Space as a destination, but now I realize its journey with some amazing milestones along the way. Today we pass the most significant of them all as our beautiful VSS Unity, along with hopes and dreams of so many became the first Spaceship built for regular passenger service, to put humans into Space."

The era of space travel for ordinary passengers is coming.For sure the ticket will be expensive in the beginning, but that's happened before...the aviation industry is a good example!

Take a taste of what is coming...
