British billionaire Richard Branson completed his latest, and arguably greatest, adventure Sunday with a brief flight to the edge of space aboard his Virgin Galactic space plane. The flight marks not only Branson’s first trip to space, but the first time Virgin has flown a fully crewed cabin.
Linda McMahon, former Small Business Administrator under Trump and chairwoman of the America First Policy Institute, and Brooke Rollins, former acting director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, and other leading conservatives joined him for the announcement.
The flamboyant British entrepreneur has seen off rivals Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk after his game-changing mission took off from a spaceport in New Mexico, US following a 90-minute delay caused by weather overnight as millions watched on a live stream from around the globe
The 70-year-old British entrepreneur pumped his fists in the air as he stepped onto the runway in New Mexico before skipping towards his daughter Holly’s twins Etta and Artie and scooping them up in his arms.
A discount travel service it is not. But demand is apparently strong, with several hundred wealthy would-be citizen astronauts already having booked reservations, priced at around £180,000 per ticket.
Branson called it the “experience of a lifetime” in a staticky radio transmission from Unity as it began to glide back to Earth. The craft then returned for a picture-perfect landing near the same spot VMS Eve launched from almost exactly an hour earlier. “Welcome to the dawn of a new space age,” the 70-year-old Branson said later from the tarmac of Spaceport America.
Sir Richard, who has dreamed of travelling to space ever since the Cold War competition between the US and the Soviet that took place while he was a child, was one of six Virgin Galactic Holding Inc employees on board the space plane attached underneath the twin-fuselage aircraft
Sir Richard Branson today became the first billionaire in space, celebrating the ‘experience of a lifetime’ with his wife, children and grandchildren who greeted him on the tarmac after his Virgin Galactic spacecraft returned from a flight through the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Also on the flight was Virgin’s chief astronaut instructor Beth Moses, the only person to have previously ridden in SpaceShipTwo’s passenger cabin, in 2019. The company’s lead operations engineer Colin Bennett was on board along with Sirisha Bandla, vice president for government affairs. Bandla tended a research experiment from the University of Florida involving plant biology’s adaptation to microgravity.
Sir Richard Branson has said he is feeling ‘good’ and ‘excited’ ahead of his record-breaking flight his Virgin Galactic which will see him soar more than 50 miles above the New Mexico desert to become the first billionaire to leave earth in a rocket ship today.

A controversial anti-abortion law in Texas allows private citizens to file lawsuits of up to $10,000 in damages against abortion providers who perform abortions on women who are pregnant for more than six weeks.
In case you have almost any inquiries about where by as well as the way to make use of unique blog design, you are able to e-mail us from our own web-site. Producers will no doubt draw heavily on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s explosive Oprah interview, which aired in March, although it remains to be seen if it will go near controversial topics such as the alleged racist remark about Archie.
Filming on the movie began last month in Vancouver, where its stars have been regularly photographed filming a variety of scenes – including a recreation of Princess Diana’s deadly car crash and a reenactment of a home video that Harry and Meghan shared during their Oprah interview.
Sir Richard is the first person to enter space in their own vessel, a feat he accomplished nine days before Amazon founder Jeff Bezos plans to ride his own rocket ship – New Shepard – into space from Texas on July 20.
Both stars have a handful of small on-screen roles to their names, and they have each made appearances in Netflix series in the past.
Dean was featured in the 2019 show The Punisher, while Morton snagged parts in the 2020 mini-series Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker and She’s Gotta Have It, which ran from 2017 to 2019.
But with the Supreme Court this week agreeing to take up a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, abortion rights activists worry that a ruling favorable to the state could lay the groundwork for allowing even more restrictions, including so-called heartbeat bills.
But while Morton and Dean were both seen stepping into their roles in the first teaser shared by the network, the new clip offers insight into the very stuffy way in which some of the other senior royals will be depicted, revealing glimpses at the on-screen versions of the Queen, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.
