Virgin Galactic is a spaceflight company founded by Richard Branson in 2004. Its primary goal is to provide suborbital space tourism experiences for private individuals. The company uses a spaceplane called VSS Unity, which is carried to a high altitude by a mothership before launching into space. The flights offer passengers a few minutes of weightlessness and stunning views of Earth from the edge of space. Virgin Galactic aims to make space travel accessible to more people, promoting the idea of commercial space tourism as a new frontier in the travel industry.
