Update from Mojave: Successful First Glide Flight Test for VSS Unity

December 03, 2016

Quote

Our new spaceship, VSS Unity, has successfully completed its first free flight! Today’s important test flight marks the first time that a vehicle built by our sister organization, The Spaceship Company, has flown fully under its own control.

Today, VSS Unity was piloted by Mark Stucky and Dave Mackay, with pilots Mike Masucci and Todd Ericsson as well as flight test engineer Dustin Mosher in WhiteKnightTwo. Over the course of the 1 hour 20 minute flight–particularly the 10 minutes of free flight for SpaceShipTwo–our pilots, mission controllers, and ground crew collected valuable data.

Good for them!  I'm sure the waiting list of the rich and famous is growing by leaps and bounds.

Hail, Virgin Galactic!!  Hail, Sir Richard Branson for persevering.   To think it all started with rock n' roll. :clap:

Wonder how much a ticket will cost. Probably more than I'll see in my lifetime...
