VIRGIN GALACTIC - ZBOR TURISTIC
Handout photo shows VSS Unity takes-off from spaceport America, New Mexico for the Galactic 02 mission. Virgin Galactic, the space tourism company founded by British billionaire Richard Branson, finally launched its first space tourists to the edge of the cosmos, a major step toward delivering on decades of promises. The company’s rocket-powered space plane, VSS Unity, took off at 8:30 a.m. MT from a New Mexico spaceport attached to a massive twin-fuselage mothership on August 10, 2023. It carried three customers: entrepreneur and health and wellness coach Keisha Schahaff and her daughter Anastatia Mayers, the first space travelers from Antigua who won their seats in a fundraiser drawing, as well as former Olympian Jon Goodwin, who competed as a canoeist in the 1972 Munich Summer Games. Goodwin became the second person with Parkinson’s disease to travel to space. Photo by Virgin Galactic via ABACAPRESS.COM
