a second. you have beth moses right in the middle, the chief astronaut instructor at virgin galactic. she s going to be the lead test director in space. she s overseeing the safe execution of the test flight objectives here. as you mentioned, this is a test flight. this is still a test flight. this is not open to everybody. everybody on this flight has a reason for being there. reporter: that s absolutely right. and let s talk about you talked about when you get the boost, if you will. so, they climb to 50,000 feet. they drop. they light the rocket. and then as they accelerate, they re pulling 3 1/2 gs. they accelerate to 2300 miles per hour. that s mach iii. this is a hybrid motor that has been created specifically for this rocket. it s a solid and liquid propellant. we re talking 3 to 4 minutes of weightlessness. they have 17 windows up there. interestingly, we talked about these kind of, i don t know,
and begins that rocket ride up and then back down. what is that sensation? there aren t many people on earth who can speak to it and you re one of them. yeah. i think they re going experience a lot of g-force with the acceleration. they re going to be going really fast and get there really fast and then they re going to go from being pushed back into their seat from the force to being weightless instandly instantly when the engine kicks off. that s exciting. it is the moment where they realize their dream comes true. their weightless. they re in space. the most amazing thing is the view out the window. they ll watch the sky turn from blue to black and the atmosphere. it s going to be incredible. colonel, we re about to see the separation. tom costello, back to you. we re seconds away from the moment here. let s watch. release, release, release!
