LAS CRUCES – Forty-five students from Las Cruces Public Schools were invited to the Unity 22 mission to space to witness the launch July 11, giving them a “life-changing moment.”
The mission successfully launched and returned to Earth with six crew members aboard, including Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson.
“At first, it seemed almost like a normal plane launch,” said Holly Norsworthy, a student at Mayfield High School going into her sophomore year this fall. “Then they kept going higher, and then they just disappeared. They had the livestream going, and (we) watched them as they were in space. It was really, really cool.”
