So glad that space has been re-hyped during my lifetime.
It's been hyped a few times before!
Let’s hope and make it stay that way
Yes mate! A new space race will start at the turn of the decade - To put humans on Mars!!!
Saw the falcon heavy launch livestream came my pants like 4 times especially when the boosters landed thought it was going to fail lmao
@@user-fg2me such satisfying videos!!!
Debussy, the sound of inspiration in space I guess.
I think they choose Debussy because he has sort of a timeless sound with a monumental property that people in the future might recognize.
Where's your coverage of this?
Personal favorite
gay
Debussy: when you want to sound like class that you don't have
Who else is here after Richard finally made it to space!!
Me
Why else would we be here
heck yeah
Let the president of the big country go n dont let him come back hehehe
An ordinary plane went into space? You gotta be kidding!
I saw Richard speak at a conference a few years back. He said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said “You all seem like a young generation, you will all have the chance to experience space flight in your lifetime.” As a pilot, this is amazing to see now.
The world needs more people like Branson and Musk.
Nahhh...we don’t need anymore cunts
Brandon is opposite of Musk you moron.
imagine if everyone was as smart as they are
Brian Smith and less people like Hilary and Pelosi.....
More people like President Trump....

It’s rocket science art for our galaxy neighbors, in case their watching. Reminds me of pictographs painted in caves by our ancestors. Cool. Branson’s come a long way since his 1987 hot air balloon Atlantic crossing and speed breaking records. 1903 Wilbur & Orville Wright airplane launch. 1783 first launch balloon flight.
Worked 6 years in The Spaceship Company, this is the greatest moment of my life! Beautiful film!
Great to hear that :), How relatable are the parts used compared to other companies in the field? Im asking because i would like to know if they are cutting corners (like NASA did before accidents).
*Elon Musk Wants To Know Your Location*
Elon musk is 500 years ahead but ok xD
haha
@@AnabolicPopcorn Space X have never taken a man to space... Both are aiming different things. Respect them.
@Oakpc2002 You do realize Virgin Galactic are only doing sub orbital flights right now? While SpaceX is aiming to colonize Mars?
@Oakpc2002 you do realize SpaceX is aiming to make humanity an interplanetary species that includes sending humans to Mars, and eventually allow terraforming Mars? They are Different companies with different goals, but SpaceX is definitely going places (pun intended).
Congratulations sir for fist time You're Vergin Galectic Space Craft in Space👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳
Love this, as a grandmother myself, the message to the grandchildren is very meaningful to me. Thank you Richard for sharing this video of your journey to space. It is meaningful to all of us, and the emotions shown are genuine. Thank you for your achievement to travel to space and to many more. ❤️

2:25-2:34. I can't stop looping that scene. A true visual masterpiece. Clair de lune takes it over the top. It's also nice to hear the rocket exhaust.
I just love that rumble
Absolutely!
Clair de Lune - beautiful and so befitting... always brings tears to my eyes when I hear it.
hi
Beautiful beyond words. Humanity reaching its apex. Nothing compares to moments like these. Nothing.
Richard Branson is a man who shows with his life that one can reach every goal if he truly dreams about it
“We are all in this together, fellow travers on spaceship earth”. A marvelous perspective Sir Branson!
Can't wait for MrBeast to make a Virgin Galactic flight related video! :D
3:36 right pilot reads handbook chapter „how to land a spaceship“
...for dummies
😂😂😂😂
Me studying for my final exams 3 days before
Love this. To see him so happy and to see his company go that far brings happy tears to my eyes. Hope he lives a very long and prosperous life so we can see just how far he can take us all.
I am feeling tears like i did it and share this accomplishment
Richard's reaction when the craft makes it in space is like a child when he has his first step that's memorable.
Moved me to tears...music helps
Just imagine working hard for something like this, over the course of countless years. That moment of success... I wish I could feel something like this one day. I want to become and engineer.

2:47 Love hearing this ""We're going to space Richard!"
hi
I love Virgin Galactic and all the amazing people who work together to achieve such a wonderful task.Thank you for taking us into outer space.
"Spaceship Unity, welcome to Space !"
"Copy base, million dollar view..."
I can't imagine how amazing, and exciting it could be to be up this high, especially in a such small vessel, it's just you and your ship, and the space !
Congratulations Virgin, you were always my favourite and I'm glad you are the first to make it to space from american soil since the retirement of the Space Shuttle, especially after 2014.
Hats off !
Fly safe up there o7 !

Would've been cool if that was the ISS speaking to them.
Snax
It wasn’t space. The Karman line is the agreed point of Space, which is 100km.
SpaceShip 2 flew only 80km up. Which is still impressive. :)
Billion*
It's one thing to go high up to space and fall down which is what Virgin Galactic is doing and another thing to actually reach orbit which is what SpaceX is doing
VSS UNITY. UNITY. That alone, makes me smile. Thank you for EVERYTHING you've done, Mr. Branson. You've eternally earned my complete respect.
I hope every kids with space dreams make it come true.We are going to a space age.
Congratulations to Sir Richard and his amazing team.
Love the background music. Perfect for the presentation.
@DIRTY PUSSY claire de lune, a classic.
Flat Earth's: "The earth in this video is clearly a paid actor"
Please don't even bother to acknowledge those trolls, or to anyone else who puts serious effort into contradicting truth. The less that they are mentioned, the more they will become forgotten.
Nah, that was body part acting, all earth acting is too expensive for theml
Actually, the curvature seen in this video is from the wide angle lens (look inside the cabin how it's evenly distorted). At this altitude, I'm pretty sure the pilots saw the horizon as a possibly only slightly curved line, not what we're seeing through the lens. You have to go way higher to grab the sphere with your eyes. That must be a sight to behold!
Richard Branson's in on the conspiracy too!
Flat Earth Theorists =Trump Supporters
Richard Branson is a rare and likeable entrepreneur, whose life has been an inspiration to many. Congratulations to him and his team on this accomplishment.
Flew right over my house when it came back to earth. Had no idea what I was looking at at the time.
Can't wait for MrBeast to make a Virgin Galactic flight related video! :D
At least he is not investing his money in making war or even bigger yachts like so many other very rich people.
He's using arab money for this
No, he is making a system for the amusement of the super-rich(only)

Yes a great comment. I agree with you fully "Thank you for your compliance". But then again I deduct 100 points from your achievement card for the stupid too long name you gave yourself :)

I can feel that emotion MR Richard Branson.. Congratulations
Congrats Richard! That took quite a bit of persistence.
Sir Richard, your vision has come true. Again. Congratulations.
And now I have a new icon to look up to.
Clair De Lune is truly a perfect piece written for space traveling, it's timeless.
Thanks, I was searching the comments for the name of that work.
This is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen...
Virgin Galactic Pops As It Confirms May 22 For Next Test Flight
So gorgeous
The most beautiful music choice, as comforting as the space itself
And for the small price of $250,000, you too can have this amazing view!
Baxter hey that’s better than 1b
That's actually less than I would've expected. Not affordable, but not the millions I would've thought lol
Not shocked the MineCraft Kid himself over here doesn't have at least a decent grasp on how any of this works.
Baxter:
Well, then that's a bargain of $750,000 off!
It will become less and less as time goes on soon it will be as common as getting on a normal plane
Congratulations! Hope this kind of tourism will advance rapidly so that more and more people could see the earth from high above!
Nihao Vlad so those Fakt earther des can finally be proved wrong
Cowboy Bebop is not so far-fetched anymore.
lol, so they build one single "spaceship" (glorified jet) and manage to not blow it up. release a video. spend billions on r&d and materials. take decades to do it. now all of a sudden you think people are going to save up their walmart hourly wage and get a trip to the stratosphere anytime soon... there is no work up there to be done by us man, therefor we wont be going.
@@username4441 No, I ment that they are first for now, soon there will be competitors, more and more flights, prices will go down.
Sure this won't happen in a year or two.
Richard is living proof that dreams can be achieved through determination, even when you have nothing left but to build again, success is always an uphill struggle and you have shown a passion for making dreams happens, pushing yourself to be the best. A father to aspire to, a grandfather who made history and a lifetime of achievements. Thankyou.
“We are all in this together” I’m thinking not.
Yes the trumpers can fend for themselves

To where? Low earth orbit? We did that 60 years ago ...
@@Nautilus1972 So SpaceX and Blue origin should give up too right?
We landed rockets vertically 60 years ago on another planet with the lunar lander. We created a reusable space launch system 50 years ago with the Shuttle . What's your point?

This is the first video i ever saw , where the space and everything looks real

Because they are relatively low, about 6x lower than the space station
Fantastic. Very well done - keep up the great work Virgin Galactic.
NASA: manga
SPACEX: anime

goldfishislovely replace the spots of nasa and spacex
@Vsatyk spacex is leading the way in reusable rockets so that space travel will be more common and space missions much cheaper, i think what they're doing is something that nasa has held off on for a long time
Man, this does not make any sense, each has its own area and its limitations, so long as NASA is funded by the government, SpaceX is private and faces much more Budget Limitations and therefore makes reusable rockets and its focus is to transform the act of send things to space, such as satellites and the like, easier and cheaper; And the focus of Virgin Galatic is totally different from these other space companies, the focus of them is Space Tourism, with planes, SpaceShips and make this tourism cheaper for the whole population, including you idiot who compares a car that has the function of traveling on roads and take you to the bakery, with a Saturn V that has the function of reaching the moon.
Oh I dunno. The Witcher isn't looking too flash right now mate.

Such a beautiful video - Thanks Richard and team
When we will have the raw footage of the flight?? Because i believe 90% of the people here is what we want to see.
90%? Why would 90% want the raw footage? Unless 90% are flat-tards, which is a massive overstatement (even at a flat-tard convention there wouldn't be 90% flatards, given the support staff hosting it would be normal) they'd only claim it was fake anyway.
@@glenralph5123 Because thats the cool part, what have the flatards have to do with this, the fk are u talking about??? lol

The way this has been presented is outstanding!
If RyanAir or Spirit Airlines decides to make an low cost carrier aircraft that goes to space, this is how they would do it:
1) Seat width would be maxed out at 9 inches wide, to cram as much people into the spaceship as possible.
2) There is a damn good chance your spaceflight will be canceled with no refunds issued. Also no support services will be available either.
3) The plane/spaceship may not be able to make it back down to Earth in one piece.
4) They will still have "Buy on Board" since food and drinks are not included in the final ticket price.
Space race of billionaires: elon, jeff and richard. Amazing time we live in!
hi
Well it's not really a race, they are all working towards different goals.
America government just chilling back watching them launch skyscraper tall rockets with chemical explosion for lift, while their scientists working underground bases in Area 52 experimenting anti-gravity tech for weapons
if they werent so competitive about capatalizing off space and there own entry systems we would already be on mars and the moon with all 3 of there money plus the goverments ? but that will never happen if only this was in russia where they would force them to work together by the state owning there money basically shitty just will take another 100 years for one of the 3 to make it rather then seeing progress in a life time
The US government did this in the mid 1940's.
You are a wonderful person, you are giving humanity a dream of a lifetime. Now is the era of Virgin Galactic.
This is a beautiful video capturing a beautiful moment in history. Who knew we need the commercial sector to look at space. I’m looking forward to the future with flare at optimism.

I'll repeat the question already asked - where's Burt Rutan? Didn't he design this thing?
Paul Allen and Burt Rutan are shown at 0:54

Well, umm, Paul Allan succumbed to [a third fight with] cancer recently, so that explains why he's not present in this video other than that photo.
Burt Rutan was not there. He was somewhere else. If you ask the inter web, you may not get a good answer. That's just the way it is.
