Hi folks,
The news have picked it up recently. One year ago, Virgin Galactic's first space ship collapsed in the sky above California killing the pilot who was driving the air craft and injuring the other one.
When that happened Virgin wasn´t sure if they would continue with the project, but 12 months on, Virgin Galactic's founder, Sir Richard Branson, says the company will be going ahead with its plans and the second space craft, SpaceShipTwo, ¨ should be ready to start testing by February 2016¨
Virgin aims to have a group of space planes to take ¨passangers to suborbital space, allowing them to experience weightlessness and see Earth against the blackness of space¨
Pretty impressive, uh?
Regardless of the high-price tag, would you go to suborbital space? Is it something that takes your fancy?
