The successful first human spaceflight from Virgin Galactic reached space on Saturday morning after its launching at 8:34 a.m. from Spaceport America, near Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. The process that took two years is considered a major step in reaching Virgin Galactic s space tourism dream.
Space Tourism Dream
The SpaceShipTwo, an air-launched suborbital spaceplane type, was specifically designed for space tourism purposes. It was operated by Pilots Kelly Latimer and Michael Masucci. It carried VSS Unity, a suborbital rocket-powered crewed spaceplane, flown by Pilots C.J. Sturckow and Dave Mackay. Based on the company s projection, it will be used as part of the Virgin Galactic spaceline.
