Virgin Galactic Space Plane Reaches New Heights In Test Flight

Virgin Galactic designed the VSS Unity to carry two pilots and six passengers into space to experience a few minutes of weightlessness.

Billionaire Richard Branson wants to be on the “first official flight” to see space as a tourist by the end of 2018. His company’s latest test flight reached heights of more than 32 miles.
