To Space and Back: Sir Richard Branson Aboard Virgin Galactic Unity 22
English billionaire Sir Richard Branson and his commercial Virgin Galactic Unity 22 spaceflight successfully made it to space and back.
It was only for a moment but it was a moment Sir Richard Branson will never forget as his Virgin Galactic Unity 22 spaceflight successfully soared through Earth’s atmosphere and safely touched down – making space travel for the everyday person within reach.
The mission was the first to carry a full crew of two pilots and four mission specialists including the company’s founder Branson, 70, into space, where they enjoyed a brief time of weightlessness while looking back down on Earth.
