For Immediate Release From Virgin Airlines CEO & Founder Richard Branson!
(Yesterday), for the first time in history, a crewed spaceship, built to carry private paying passengers, reached space. Watching on from the flight line with the incredible Virgin Galactic and The Spaceship Company teams was one of the proudest moments of my life.

Ever since I watched the moon landings as a child I have looked up to the skies with wonder. I started Virgin nearly 50 years ago dreaming big and loving a challenge. Today, as I stood among this truly remarkable group of people, all of us with our eyes on the stars, we saw our biggest dream and our toughest challenge to date fulfilled.
