Virgin Galactic flies its first tourists to the edge of space
Virgin Galactic achieved a momentous feat as its rocket transported its inaugural group of tourists to the fringes of space on Thursday.
Among the passengers were an ex-British Olympian who secured his ticket 18 years ago and a mother-daughter duo hailing from the Caribbean.
Following a fleeting flight that granted passengers several minutes of weightlessness, the space plane elegantly glided back to Earth, executing a flawless runway landing at Spaceport America, situated in the expansive deserts of New Mexico.
As the craft’s rocket motor ignited post-release from the transporting plane, which had carried it aloft, elated cheers resounded from onlookers on the ground, the Associated Press reported.
