Galactic 01 - Virgin Galactic’s first commercial spaceflight
Ғылым және технология
Galactic 01 - Virgin Galactic’s first commercial spaceflight - was launched from Spaceport America, New Mexico, on 29 June 2023, with VSS Unity being released from VMS Eve at 15:30 UTC (09:30 local time). VSS Unity, the second SpaceShipTwo, transported a full crew of two pilots, Michael Masucci (commande) and Nicola Pecile (pilot) and four mission specialists in the cabin: Col. Walter Villadei and Lt. Col. Angelo Landolfi from the Italian Air Force, Pantaleone Carlucci (engineer, National Research Council of Italy - CNR), Colin Bennett (astronaut instructor, Virgin Galactic). VMS Eve was piloted by Kelly Latimer (commander) and Jameel Janjua (pilot)

I'm very happy and amazing to see our Italians astronauts on flight around earth 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🙋♀️🌟🌟🌟🌟
Humans taming the art of flight is so impressive. I'm just marveled by how an aircraft with seemingly tiny wings can make so much out of the atmosphere and glide like a bird.
Congratulations! Space for everyone comes closer!
Awesome!
Congratulations Virgin for being one of the few private company that is making space affordable .

Хорошая идея замечательный полет. надеюсь влитая допка увеличит флот до задуманного одного полета в неделю. Сэр Ричард Брэнсон удачи.

Dam 2 times the speed of sound and still accelerating vertically
The first ti fly on the blinps and airplanes paves the commercial feasibility and made it routine enough to fly safely. Its the way if things to start small build up funds and demand to make it cheaper in the long run. This is just the way it is. I hope this gets routine fast enough for anyone to fly. I believe the starship will be the way to maje it cheap to get into space and work there too.😊
The rate at which technology is improving and getting greater and greater inspires me more anf more to stay as healthy as i possibly can to live as ling ad possible to see the amazing things that us humans can and will do since i was born in 92 im now 31 and we are jsut now making it where there is commercial space flight and elextric cars is now a regular thing and i wish i would have been born today actually so i could live and see all the great things we are gonna fo jn the next 80 yeara

Yeah it’s very cool but not really space. I mean if your definition of space is weightlessness then every time you go on a roller coaster you’re going to space.

Space 100km up does not mean weightlessness, you are still subject to the same gravity. But calculations worked out space to roughly start at 83km. So this is space - they just rounded it up.

Apogee, I know what that means thanks to Kerbal Space Program.
The ironic thing about space travel is there's nowhere go. I mean, no Earth type environment. No planet has breathable atmosphere. Kinda funny. A huge universe with nowhere to go. It's like film director James Cameron going on about how amazing the oceans/underwater is. Well if it were that amazing we'd be able to breathe underwater. 😄 Clearly, nature didn't design humans to live in space or in the seas.

@@jeffreyzheng4924 Commerical, maybe. Affordable, maybe not. I fear that space travel is going to be exceedingly expensive for a very long time. The amount of energy required just to reach low orbit is so vast, and requires so much engineering that it will never be "cheap". If there's one thing we've learned from the 'Titan' submersible debacle, it's that when people try to make difficult engineering 'cheap'... people die. And even then, the ticket price of $250k isn't what I would call affordable. Not saying it will never happen, but I don't think Bransons suborbital joyride is the way to commercial space travel.

It's less than a sounding rocket. A sounding rocket serves real scientific value. This is a glorified amusement park joy ride for those with more money than sense. The design is laughably far removed from having the delta-V necessary for anything more than a few minutes up and a few minutes down. Spaceship? Puuuhhhleeaaseee.
