Virgin Galactic

[Warkman58]

Anyone watching Sir Richard Branson’s first flight into space?
Fantastic achievement on this English day

[Mymemories]

Yes we did ……..l love Virgin Atlantic but have to say that although it was exciting the video coverage was SHOCKING !

[maidmarian]

Yep, it's fantastic

[madasahat]

its not space space is 76 miles up he is doing nothing that the x series planes done in the 60s

good job it wasn't cancelled he would of had to wait 6 months for his money back

How late was it? I had a look but nothing was happenning at the time they had said.

What’s to celebrate? It’s rich people taking a piddling contest against each other. Branson has been after this for years but barely got it off the ground before others came biting at his ankles. For someone who couldn’t make trains run on time I’d be wary of handing over hundreds of thousands to him for this.

The coverage tone etc was far to self congratulatory for my taste - but glad it flew ok ..

Love him or hate him his tribute to his mother today was heartwarming and emotional.
They were some generation.

I’ll settle for my memory of a champagne supersonic flight on Concorde with my mum out to the Bay of Biscay, with many other people experiencing something amazing.

Something ordinary people could actually afford to do.

Got to admit it’s pretty cool, but also part of me remembers Branson lobbying for bail outs not too long ago
