Virgin Galactic Makes History with First Commercial Spaceflight

Virgin Galactic sent its first paying customers to space, reaching the edge of space in its VSS Unity spacecraft.
The crew of four included researchers from the Italian Air Force and National Research Council of Italy conducting experiments in microgravity.
Virgin Galactic overcame years of delays and setbacks to achieve this milestone in commercial space travel.
The company aims to begin monthly spaceflights for hundreds of customers who have paid up to $450,000 per ticket.
Virgin Galactic's success establishes it as a leader in space tourism along with SpaceX and Blue Origin.
