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
