Launching Spring 2010
National Geographic and Virgin Galactic
Join maverick entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson and legendary aeronautical engineer Burt Rutan on their quest to create the world’s first commercial manned spaceship. Over the next two years the project will pass a series of milestones, each a groundbreaking development towards the first commercial space flights.
Virgin Galactic will document the pioneers in space tourism, Virgin’s pilots and crew, and their first passengers – with plans calling for 50,000 ordinary people to travel into space in the first 10 years of operation.

Congratulations to Sir Richard Branson, and all the Virgin Group. Fantastic and Brilliant... THANK YOU! :) This is the era and the century for future Historian and Anthropologists to study, talk or, and wish to have been living in. I pray many of us all get to fly outaspace.. And part of my final Thesis for Anthropology is SPACE, and getting to outerspace. Love this website, and hope the coming years are frutiful for all. Best regards, Mo www.virgin.travel
