Virgin Galactic Completes Final Test Flight, Prepares to Launch Paying Customers to Space

Virgin Galactic recently tested their spaceflight system with a final assessment ahead of flying customers next month.
The company is set to resume space tourism flights after a two-year hiatus to update their flight hardware and infrastructure.
Virgin Galactic will conduct a suborbital flight to the edge of space with Virgin Galactic employees aboard before flying paying customers.
The spaceplane detached from its mothership at 50,000 feet and rocketed to the edge of space before gliding back to Earth.
Virgin Galactic will begin flying customers who have paid as much as $450,000 for a ticket on the suborbital trip to space starting in late June.
