You Won't Believe How Many Tourist Space Flights Virgin Galactic Is Planning
In conjunction with its third-quarter financial results, Virgin Galactic (NYSE: SPCE) confirmed plans on Thursday for its first suborbital test flight later this month. The space tourism company said it is completing the final steps for the VSS Unity's rocket-powered test flight from Spaceport America.
CEO Michael Colglazier said: "This will be the first-ever human spaceflight conducted from New Mexico," with a follow-up planned for the first quarter of 2021. The company is continuing plans for its first commercial launch, with plans to reopen ticket sales after founder Richard Branson's flight sometime in 2021."
