Virgin Galactic

Imagine traveling in a space balloon with British Sir Richard Branson, co-founder of Virgin, as your co-pilot.

In the capsule that will take you to the stratosphere, you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite cocktail while staying connected to Earth via Wi-Fi.

Virgin Galactic launched its first tourist passengers into the weightlessness of space Thursday, the culmination of a nearly two-decade commercial pursuit, the company said.

The three passengers -- Jon Goodwin, Keisha Schahaff, and her teenage daughter Anastatia Mayers - floated gravity-free through the Virgin spacecraft about 45 minutes after taking off.

Virgin Galactic successfully carried out its first spaceflight in nearly two years on May 25 , the company said, after an "enhancement period" to make safety upgrades to its fleet.

The Unity vehicle, with pilots Dave Mackay and CJ Sturckow at the controls, powered to a height of 89km (55 miles), and then glided back down to Earth.
