Virgin Galactic’s hopes are sky high with the unveiling of their new spacecraft.
Sir Richard Branson’s space project Virgin Galactic is set to amaze the globe after successfully launching the company’s new spaceship, 18 months after fatal crash of its predecessor had left the company grounded.
VSS Unity was revealed on Feb. 19 at the company’s headquarters at Mojave Air Space Port, in the Mojave desert. It’s a replica of its forerunner, the VSS Voyage, also a SpaceShipTwo-class suborbital rocket-powered manned spaceplane.
