Virgin Galactic sends its first passenger to the edge of space

The pilots of the company and Moses took off shortly after 11am aboard the SpaceShipTwo VSS Unity. Moses, who will train future space tourists, was there to evaluate the customer experience and the cabin, Reuters reports. Subsequently, she called it an "indescribable walk" and, to the company's founder, billionaire Richard Branson, she said, "You'll love that."

Branson is part of the moguls races aimed at getting passengers in space. Virgin Galactic has actively pushed the limits, flying higher and faster with heavier loads to simulate passenger weight. Just a few months ago, SpaceShipTwo reached space for the first time. And like Reuters Notes that Branson hopes to be the first passenger of SpaceShipTwo's inaugural commercial flight this summer. If the company succeeds, it will offer flights of 90 minutes at a special price of $ 250,000.
