@@RahulKumar-ng2gh - Yes that is the goal. Look at it like when aircraft travel came to be. It was only affordable by the rich then as the technology was perfected and normalized it got cheaper and cheaper to what we have now. Granted... It'll probably never be quite as cheap as an airline flight. But by then? Who knows...
My 11 year old son, who is fascinated with air & space travel and wants to become a pilot, has been in several planes and flights where he's been up front with the pilot, and just has a love for aerospace was fascinated with this. He's one of those dreamers that this moment will inspire. He's one of those kids now who can take this moment and go farther with it. Thank you Richard for your work and your message, you will inspire countless minds to go further and farther into new frontiers.

& you chose religious zealot congrats If you wanna claim ‘10 -17torr vacuum of sci-fi space’ exists let’s have some ACTUAL SCIENCE like WHERE have you ever demonstrated two opposing pressure systems adjacent at equilibrium without a physical barrier?...No? then don’t claim space exists because you watched “mUh tV” if you don’t admit tv can be faked you’re already a goner... George Orwell on 🌎: “Does NOT rest on reasoning or on experiment but on AUTHORITY” “SOMEWHERE or other-I think it is in the preface to Saint Joan-Bernard Shaw remarks that we are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and as an example of modern credulity he cites the widespread belief that the earth is round. The average man, says Shaw, can advance not a single reason for thinking that the earth is round. He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth-century mentality. Now, Shaw is exaggerating, but there is something in what he says, and the question is worth following up, for the sake of the light it throws on modern knowledge. Just why do we believe that the earth is round? I am not speaking of the few thousand astronomers, geographers and so forth who could give ocular proof, or have a theoretical knowledge of the proof, but of the ordinary newspaper-reading citizen, such as you or me. As for the Flat Earth theory, I believe I could refute it. If you stand by the seashore on a clear day, you can see the masts and funnels of invisible ships passing along the horizons. This phenomenon can only be explained by assuming that the earth’s surface is curved. But it does not follow that the earth is spherical. Imagine another theory called the Oval Earth theory, which claims that the earth is shaped like an egg. What can I say against it? Against the Oval Earth man, the first card I can play is the analogy of the sun and moon. The Oval Earth man promptly answers that I don’t know, by my own observation, that those bodies are spherical. I only know that they are round, and they may perfectly well be flat discs. I have no answer to that one. Besides, he goes on, what reason have I for thinking that the earth must be the same shape as the sun and moon? I can’t answer that one either. My second card is the earth’s shadow: when cast on the moon during eclipses, it appears to be the shadow of a round object. But how do I know, demands the Oval Earth man, that eclipses of the moon are caused by the shadow of the earth? The answer is that I don’t know, but have taken this piece of information blindly from newspaper articles and science booklets. Defeated in the minor exchanges, I now play my queen of trumps: the opinion of the experts. The Astronomer Royal, who ought to know, tells me that the earth is round. The Oval Earth man covers the queen with his king. Have I tested the Astronomer Royal’s statement, and would I even know a way of testing it? Here I bring out my ace. Yes, I do know one test. The astronomers can foretell eclipses, and this suggests that their opinions about the solar system are pretty sound. I am therefore justified in accepting their say-so about the shape of the earth. If the Oval Earth man answers-what I believe is true-that the ancient Egyptians, who thought the sun goes round the earth, could also predict eclipses, then bang goes my ace. I have only one card left: navigation. People can sail ships round the world, and reach the places they aim at, by calculations which assume that the earth is spherical. I believe that finishes the Oval Earth man, though even then he may possibly have some kind of counter. It will be seen that my reasons for thinking that the earth is round are rather precarious ones. Yet this is an exceptionally elementary piece of information. On most other questions I should have to fall back on the expert much earlier, and would be less able to test his pronouncements. And much the greater part of our knowledge is at this level. It does not rest on reasoning or on experiment, but on authority. And how can it be otherwise, when the range of knowledge is so vast that the expert himself is an ignoramous as soon as he strays away from his own speciality? Most people, if asked to prove that the earth is round, would not even bother to produce the rather weak arguments I have outlined above. They would start off by saying that ’everyone knows’ the earth to be round, and if pressed further, would become angry. In a way Shaw is right. This is a credulous age, and the burden of knowledge which we now have to carry is partly responsible.” Fun Fact: Wernher von braun a certified nazi & founding member of na$$holes wrote a sci-fi novel where a man named ELON leads a COLONY on MARS #FakeX 😂🤣🤤👋...satellites? arthur c clarke #CoincidenceTheorist Good luck with your religious sci-fi cult! 🤗

I've dreamt of this for 4 years and it just looks so enjoyable to feel the sensing of space. Space feels like it's cool and it kind of looks fun. I would love to have an experience of going to space.

My 80 year old mother and I watched the livestream together, and she was just as enthralled and excited about this flight as the telecasts of the first Mercury and Apollo missions or when her and I watched the first Space Shuttle lift off. Amazing times. Glad you shared this with the world.
How inspiring! For all of us, dreamers with a great work ethic, this is empowering
“I was once a child with a dream - but then I made billions of dollars”
People please stop disscommenting him he's just motivating
Please help me to achieve my child dream, and thanks for your support, I aduor you.
Well technically he still achieves his childhood dreams right? Making billions of dollars is just a way to do that, and let’s not assume that he didnt work hard at first to become as successful as he is right now. This guy is actually fantastic.
Stay broke ya bum.
Keep hating on the next man, it'll never get you there. Just bitter. Learn about how to take over in your life. Im telling you cuz i am aswell. I'm tired of living in the southeast hood of Dallas TX. Owning a piece of lush plentiful land is my dream. This shit is motivating. Make several moves and look at what you can achieve. Next thing you know, im hosting flying car races at my place in 2040
Proud of you! Hope one day I can take a ride to space it’s always been my dream.
This is the best vfx i saw right now beautiful job nice animation and vfx

Hello friend
Nice to meet you
How are you doing today?
Я читал твою книгу 7лет назад, " теряя невинность " вот только в космос еще не полетел))
Thank you for having me and my team on the ground!
All I want for Christmas is to see this blue marble from the darkness..
Its beyond a dream for most of us. Hats off Mr Branson
Meanwhile aliens be like: "awww kids are learning how to walk "
US Military need to Shoot those Aliens next time they see them 😡
@Yvonne G. You talking like we have already met aliens , we have never seen an alien space craft or how they live, yes someone out there being a lot more developed then us is a realistic thing, but the way you say it, makes it sounds like we already know how far aliens have come.
Except there no aliens

Sir Richard is such an adventurous man but this was the icing on the cake.

@@laxmihari100 anna why so bitter
@@mdstate829 he didnt mention the Bible at all. Science in itself is a religion, hes saying theres a creator never said god was it. And to believe theres not a "designer" of all this is pretty small minded. You sound like one of those nutty jesus people just tooting a different horn but coming across as an asshole too.
@@mdstate829 If you rely on human narrow knowledge, which one exist first, chicken or eggs? and do you have evidence by your answers? And hundreds years ago we didnt know about the big bang, but Alquran already reveal it 1400years ago, about the planet moving accordingly, its also in Quran and reveal to the human in the desert at that time while 1400 years ago human still didnt have such astronomer technologies.
"To all you kids down there, I was once a child with a dream, looking up to the stars, now I'm an adult with a spaceship... to the next generation of dreamers - if we can do this - just imagine what you can do."
Sir Richard Branson
to think this guy droped out of school , and his dreams took him into space !
i tell my kids you can be anything you want in this world . you just have to go and do it .
:)
this will be in history quote in 2100,just like neil Armstrong quote on the moon...
And then there's facts. The probability of anyone watching this video getting to space within their lifetime is astronomically small. If you think otherwise, you're deluded.
@@BenState if you’re not willing to shoot for the moon, I’m guessing the broad side of a barn is beyond your capabilities.
@@jebuschrist9161 Its a winged aircraft. Its destination is limited by that, and this, is all it will ever do. Look to the other projects if you want space flight, this is simply high-altitude tourism.
It's was wonderful!I am,congratulate you!
Well done sir Richard, I've always believed in your achievements, even reading about you many years ago, you have that I'm going to achieve what I do and can and will do mentality.
I'm really happy that you achieved your goal ahead of Bezos
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Can't wait to argue with flat Earthers in 5 years: "Dude the Earth is round bro, I've been to space 5 times now"
Lmao
You really think flat earthers have jobs that will let them afford this?
I always tell flat earthers that they are right, the earth is flat just like their heads.
Fisheye
fish eye lenses....you can see the curvature concave convex...earth is flat ...period
Congratulations Richard. You probably don't remember me but we've met in Barron's Ranch. I flew a lot with Steve Fossett. You are the man.
This visionary has saved my companies twice. I do not know you in person, but your books and interviews provided all the advice needed to succeed. Thank you, Sir Richard. 👍🏻😎🚀🦅
Still dreaming to have a trip like that to. Inspire able, thanks for sharing your trip video 😇
I am so happy for this beautiful achievement by Virgin! Congratulations to Richard and the whole team!
A dream come true! See that it's not just anyone who puts their skin in the game to demonstrate how safe and wonderful this new world is that they are inaugurating right now. Very happy to see Richard remembering God all the time. Oh my God! ...remembering how wonderful the creator is to offer us so much and so beautiful things!
and our powerful God blessed Richard with hard work, perseverance, resilience, and tenacity! Richard belied and never doubted! And he achieved! God’s glory on display.
What you Bible folk smoking?
Every single time I watch this I tear up with excitement. I'm currently in my 20's & have always dreamt of visiting space. with projects like this becoming commercially available as soon as next year, it transforms my hopes & dreams into something that might even become an achievable goal. Congratulations to Mr Branson & his talented team on making the impossible possible. I'll be customer of yours one day.
why? what about spacex. they’ve accomplished more
@@juice8._777 but not commercially
I'm a 9-year-old boy and I also dream of going to space, It seems so fun when other people go to space and it looks cool when you can see the unparalleled view of The Planet Earth, Even if it's already 2023, I have still dreamt of going to space. I've dreamt of this for 4 years and it just looks so enjoyable to feel the sensing of space. Space feels like it's cool and it kind of looks fun. I would love to have an experience of going to space.
Non ci sono parole ! E troppo forte credo che tutte le altre persone vorrebbero fare un giro , come ha fatto lei chi a ideato il progetto . Un bel salto nel futuro.🥳
This is crazy amazing!
Most creative way to avoid taxes ever.
This is something worthwhile.
He’s an expert at it
@@GG-ch1hm lmao
Its good till he does it legally
At least Branson spends his money rather than letting it sit in a bank.
This is flipping incredible! We're witnessing history everyone!! :)
Yes, fuck haters. This is an incredible step forward for humanity
ha! you have no idea!
WAIT, I thought we went to the moon already?
That makes this look like kids playing in a sandbox. Get it together man. 🤪
@@skipmoto3438 It's space tourism, completely different than going to another planet. It's awesome because of how tech has advanced to where humans can do this shit lol. 😅 Don't be a hater.

We should send the flat earthers next. Their reaction would be priceless
They'd say it was a simulation
You should sign up or pay when it is commercialised.
Then i would proclaim myself as flat earther.
They would say their eyes are lying to them LMFAO
why waste money on flat earthers ?
Amazing!!! Super!!!!

Here’s the result of a big dream with hard work and patience
At the end of the year, this will be among the cool highlights of the year.
Absolutely amazing, but also absolutely terrifying
Branson, you are the best!
Not going to lie, when Richard Branson started talking, I started to tear up. I don't even know this man but seeing him realize his dreams really makes me tear up in joy!
You don't get out much?????
I am glad you enjoyed his pre-prepared speech!
That experience must be very humbling, it gives me chills thinking about seeing the planet from that angle.
This is awesome....Congrats Richard and team :)
For those who are telling this is only lower orbit and not actual space..... remember this is not space research and this is space tourism...motto of this is to experience the curvature of earth and gravity less space and etc......and Kudos to the effert and this is the first success and many more to come which will even achieve next next level of space, another planet or stars within next 50 years...
It still looks like a part of a sci-fi movie, when Unity leaves Eve to rise higher, but it is reality and real and there are people that experienced it. That made it possible by persueing and fighting for that big dream.
Same thing i thought when i watched the perserverence rover falling to mars, almost looks fake

Richard Branson might eventually go where no billionaire has gone before. HMRC.
The homeless shelter or maybe if he's feeling crazy a food bank

How about "the government should take care of poverty for a change"? :) And not "removing poverty" but creating means for people to educate themselves properly, then to find nice jobs. But no, Richard Brenson didn't attend some fucking imaginary shelter/foodbank, therefore, he's bad and he should do this and do that.

Richard Branson Sir.
It is a new challenge.
Very well.
Space biz and Outermost travel should be consensus.
It causes national institutes and technology conflicts.
You're the one of best biz man in the world.

Sometimes you have to go really high, to understand how small we really are.
Amen
Do you think that, even for a moment, possessing the vast social and economic power to afford a fun junket to near-orbit will diminish the ego of a billionaire? Now he knows he is a god upon the earth.
You have to get really high, to see how small we are.
You can do that on Google earth.
It's not legal in most states or on federal property

Seeing Richard's happiness brought tears to my eyes. Such a wonderful milestone in human progress. The experience must be unbelievable, but in the age of Elon Musk and Richard Branson, nothing seems to be unbelievable.
Love all the extraordinary minds out there striving to make humans a multiplanetary species!
