Richard Branson, the CEO of Virgin Galactic, soars to the edge of space.

Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Galactic, and his team made their first flight into space with the mission "Unity 22," after nearly a decade of waiting. This is -technically- Virgin Galactic's third tripulad mission, but the first with Branson on board. Giving him the right to gloat since he beat his competitor Jeff Bezos in a race to the finish line.
