Do you come home having fished and go "I didn't really go fishing in open waters, UN says i was 2 kilometers inside the country still"? PS: 81km is 3 times higher altitude than SR71, the UN made 100km the space limit 50km higher than ramjets would ever fly, to make it the definitive "border to international waters, in space".
I asked my daughter 1 day what she wanted to do when she was older! She told me she wants to be an astronaut, the pride and emotional i felt was overwhelming to me that my child dreamt that high! A few years later i reminded her of her wish and she replied she will just be happy to see the world from space, no so much stay up there for amounts of time, i pray 1 day this amazing opportunity becomes a "relatively affordable" option for the general public because if i could do anything in my lifetime i would see to it my daughter lives out her dream!

@@TrueToad when I was growing up there was no way I could go into space no matter how hard I worked or tried as I was not an Astronaut for a government. Now I and the next generation will grow up knowing they could go into space. The price of a ticket will come down rapidly as competition increases. I think I will go into space before I die. I wouldn't have said that a few years ago. It's exciting.
Funny thing is, that a speech writer wrote those lines for him. He wanted tok be the next Neil Armstrong with a catchy phase people will remember him by.
Richard Branson giving up some of his flight time to give a speech to the next generation of dreamers is a testament to the greatness of this man. Congratulations to the whole team!
Hah, so many negative comments from small minded people that have achieved little in their lives. Can’t you just acknowledge that this IS amazing. Jesus lighten up folks.
@@Akira282 Branson said that on every new Virgin Galactic flight there will be two seats reserved for a random person who enters to win a seat and they get to bring along a friend or family member. For the people who win the two seats, they will have everything payed for including travel and hotels. They wont have to pay for anything which I think is pretty cool.
I'm so proud of richard and😊 his adventures and caring spirit towards others. I was once a child with a dream looking up to the stars. Now I'm an adult in a spaceship looking down to our beautiful Earth. To the next generation of dreamers: if we can do this, just imagine what you can do".
@@andreasprethaler5705 You can resay this a million times here, but definitions of space vary. Karman line is one but the U.S. military and NASA define space differently. According to them, space starts 12 miles below the Kármán Line, at 50 miles above Earth's surface. Pilots, mission specialists and civilians who cross this boundary are officially deemed astronauts.
Also, the term astronaut today is now a very broad term. We can say an astronaut as a crew of ISS or a professional job and then astronaut as a spacer or space tourist. But based on the comments I saw, it's still a very long debate lol
When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion.

Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.

@@paradisebreeze1705 yeah, he's made billions, maybe he should just shut all his businesses down and put all 70,000 of his work force on the dole, what with him being sooooo selfish
@@Jcremo to be honest, in terms of spaceflight, I would've expected us to be much further. We haven't been to the moon since the 70's and we were sending civilian teachers in to space in the 80's. This hasn't really changed much in terms of the future of useful exploration of space.
@@quazar912 Technically it wasn't in space, they just cruised through the upper atmosphere. The Kármán line, the internationally recognized threshold where space is said to begin, is 62 miles (100 km) above Earth. And Branson's craft only got to 53 miles (85 km), roughly the point where the second and third highest layers of the Earth's atmospheres meet. That region is called the mesopause, and it’s also home to the highest clouds in the atmosphere.
To bad space is fake.look up operation fishbowl and you will see.not to mention the bible tells you were enclosed by the FIRMAMENT.the only place that demon richard is goin is to HELL
OMG THE GUY WAS SO AFRAID richard branson, was shitting himself ALL TIME from 1:00 when all the passengers lose the seat belt he started talking [in a clear PR speech] but everybody can see how much strength he puts to hold the chairs arm... I bet he wore those sungless to try hide a little bit how scared he was... it was until 1:20 when a girl convinces him to release the belt and he tries... but it is noticeable how "out of the nest" he is, it is definitely not his comfort zone. I bet he only took courage to release the belt because he knew he was being filmed and wanted to advertise it as an "lifetime experience" but if he were alone he would be all time with eyes shut beggining to end. So the final thoughts of this is that, this space flights might get in the eyes of curious billionares in the near future, but wont be for those 70yo 80yo guys like besos and this one... it will be for the late 30yo 40yo [assuming there isnt any 20yo billionare in this plannet] so as long as the billionare population in this plannet is very low... and 250.000 IS A LOT OF MONEY TO PLAY WITH even for a millionare, i believe there wont be much public for space flight even more because if any passenger decides to buy the ticket at impulse, then he gets there he shits himself like this one... videos and public reviews will be blasted of people scared and regret of the adventure... lets wait until someone comes with an space elevator to get this thing more confortable/cheap
Burt Rutan who's team designed and launched the first version of this aircraft into the air 20 years ago must be glad to see this day. Thanks to Branson for the help completing it.
depending on who's definition of where space begins, they either were or were not in space. Technically they were not in space, hence no re-entry resistant fuselage materials are needed. They just go really high and fall for a while
It doesn’t matter how high they went or whether or not they were “in space” - they don’t need heat-resistant materials because they never achieve anything close to orbital velocity. It’s that velocity that represents the energy that must be lost when an orbiting vehicle re-enters. If you were to go 100, 300, or even 500 miles straight up and back down, you still wouldn’t encounter that level of re-entry heating.
yes right they would burn on re entry from the cosmos am i right like space ships when they re entry needs to get the right angle there is still chance to hit the orbit and get back to the cosmos so just they get above the gravity or something buy it is still cool.maybe the coming back space ship can slow down that much to re entry without burning in the atmosfere
@@bartoszfon7107 They are not beyond gravity, in fact at the hight they are, gravity is the same as on land. They are weightless simply because they are falling. They just went very high and then fell down again
@@doomfathertm8771 except they aren't. As you hear in the video "everyone look out the window, do not miss apogee" Which tells you they were not falling, but most assuredly experiencing microgravity without using techniques as used in the "vomit comet".
@@MissK816 It is... it's all self serving with no practical application unless you plan to use it to develop actual space launch systems down the line. Basically just a toy for the rich at this point... since all the planned virgin galactic ships are of a similar design that's probably all it will ever be.
One more thing, I guess you could say it gives people jobs... but unless designs and patents are shared then it doesn't really advance us as a species.
I want a seat on this trip. My earliest memory is flying a fighter jet (specifically an F16) 10 meters of the ground (I could see the wing nearly touching the ground as I banked, 5 meters or so beyond the wing tip). And as soon as I realized the Earth was a spinning ball in space my next dream was weightlessness above Earth. I've had those dreams so many times I cannot even count them. THANK YOU sir richard branson for getting on board with Burt Rutan's concept, its THE way to go suborbital, and it'll be a really cool way to travel soon (just remember to charge a profitable amount not like concorde who charged way too little, charge what someone thinks its worth to arrive from space for a dinner on another continent).
And yes, I'll only buy a ticket if its dirt cheap or a really expensive treat, no middleground. So don't undersell yourself if dirt cheap isn't profitable. I'll pay several years of saved up money to arrive at an airport where a buddy picks me up for an eve online meet, if I arrive in a spaceship from another continent. And I would probably also go from Norway/scandinavia to an Eve meet in London. If I could have the spaceship roll right up to his waiting uber with my buddy in it.
I would think that, for a man who has it all and is rarely moved by things, it speaks volumes just how excited he was during this experience. Imagine how every day people would react!
Richard Branson - requested a 1.2 billion pound bail out from government. Sued the NHS for 80 million because they lost a contract to provide children health services. Humans already went to space like 60 plus years ago. Thank you Richard I am so very inspired 🙏 ✨ 🙌
Agreed. Watching the Livestream was a waste of time. Showed next to nothing about the actual flight. Just sporadic clips of RB and his friends strapped into their seats. They should have POV footage of the entire flight from take off to touchdown.
Ofc he did.. so would you. He is the first private person to build his own space program and shoot himself up and back, safely. There still is a long way to go, but still, he earned his speech time.
@@OriaXu I know it just didn’t seem to come off the cuff ... seemed rehearsed.. unlike “ I have a dream “ or “ one small step for man “ or hakuna matatta “
An amazing achievement. The very first aeroplane flights were exploratory and available to just a few. Now they are available to the masses. Hopefully now space flight will follow that same path in the coming decades. Just amazing!
Yes any one with government grants and subsidies can do this. Just gotta get in the pockets of a few prominent politicians, spend 2 mil on thier campaigns get 2 billion back in grants, subsidies and tax write offs.
Despite what judgemental people say, I congratulate all at Virgin Galactic for this great accomplishment, and wish them and Virgin Orbit continued success.
They did what the X-15 did in 1959 and are so pathetically short of reaching actual Low-Earth Orbit that this remains a complete and total waste of time for being of any true consequence to anyone. Can't even reach the 62 mile international definition of space (Karman Line).
@@seraphiquevox There are talks to lower the Karman line with new scientific understanding of the atmosphere. The demarcation between the atmosphere and space is very hazy, as the ionosphere extends past even the ISS. In regards to the flight, you are missing the point. Back in the days of the X-15, those were piloted by a single military test pilot. Virgin Galactic has done a similar flight, but in a manner that civillians with minimal training can be passengers. That is a huge innovation, as it marks the beginning of space opening up to people other than astronauts. In time, we will see more and more people on real orbital flights. SpaceShipTwo is a stepping stone. Unlike the X-15 program, it will actually lead to the development of rapidly reused commercial spaceplanes - that will change the world.
@@WasatchWind the X plane program is a stepping stone to manned spaceflight (in USA at least). They didnt do it with "Spaceplanes" in the end because getting to Low-Earth Orbit in such a ridiculous vehicle is not going to happen. This changes absolutely nothing. Orbit or Bust.
When I first heard and read about the virgin Galactic project I always thought there was something a bit off about it, like it wasn’t really necessary. But seeing this changes that. We’re entering a new age. It’s pretty awesome.
Ричард, ты Великий человек! Твой пример заряжает миллионы людей по всему миру верить в свою мечту! Я очень рад, что мне повелось жить с тобой в одно время!
@@dashforcash6555 Where did you get 100,000 feet from. Galactic peaks around 55 miles up which is 290,000 feet. In the US 50 miles up is considered space.
I've watched this several times, it's amazing to watch the emotion and excitement from Richard when he first experiences seeing space and floating freely. He has worked so hard and with such a dedication to this. I think it's brilliant that throughout his business enterprises, ups & downs that he's become so successful and has achieved a childhood dream. But I'm interested to know what others feel about the morality of being such a tough boss throughout his business enterprises, he's achieved his dreams but might have crushed others along the way. Is this right, wrong or not either of these?
@@henos.r.f.c3631 They went to space. The plane is tumbling rapidly. They did not enter orbit, though. Not that you would want to in that thing. It doesn't have life support for more than a few hours.
Since they didn't orbit.. The flat earthers don't have to say anything.. Hopefully they will put a larger engine or perhaps a second detachable engine to boost them in orbit..
No FE folks deny L.E.O. flight - Wow, more people went into LEO...Been doing that since the 60's. Wake us up when they get through the Van Allen Radiation Belts and take a picture of the whole Earth. Oh, and I'm not a Flat Earther, for the record. I just love the arguments they make and I even more so love watching the cookie-cutter, automaton-text-book zombies get mad and resort to insults. That's the true pleasure of scientific discovery. Actual scientists never stop asking questions and demanding proof of theory.
I am literally getting emotional seeing this. This has lit a fire in me to achieve even more for myself. I want to experience the same thing and more. What an amazing time to be alive. Congratulations Richard Branson and associates.

I ask you, do you go 20km away from shore, do you feel like you're not in the open ocean just because its still 2.2km until you reach international waters? You can't see land either way. Do you come home having fished and go "I didn't really go fishing in open waters, UN says i was 2 kilometers inside the country still"?
PS: 81km is 3 times higher altitude than SR71, the UN made 100km the space limit 50km higher than ramjets would ever fly, to make it the definitive "border to international waters, in space".
I asked my daughter 1 day what she wanted to do when she was older! She told me she wants to be an astronaut, the pride and emotional i felt was overwhelming to me that my child dreamt that high! A few years later i reminded her of her wish and she replied she will just be happy to see the world from space, no so much stay up there for amounts of time, i pray 1 day this amazing opportunity becomes a "relatively affordable" option for the general public because if i could do anything in my lifetime i would see to it my daughter lives out her dream!
I doubt you would do what those girls probably did to get on that flight 😏
It won't be affordable
I hope she meant the real kind...an engineer or another type of scientist, and not a billionaire joyrider.

@@quazar912 Technically it wasn't in space, they just cruised through the upper atmosphere.

OMG THE GUY WAS SO AFRAID
richard branson, was shitting himself ALL TIME from 1:00 when all the passengers lose the seat belt he started talking [in a clear PR speech] but everybody can see how much strength he puts to hold the chairs arm...
I bet he wore those sungless to try hide a little bit how scared he was...
it was until 1:20 when a girl convinces him to release the belt and he tries... but it is noticeable how "out of the nest" he is, it is definitely not his comfort zone. I bet he only took courage to release the belt because he knew he was being filmed and wanted to advertise it as an "lifetime experience" but if he were alone he would be all time with eyes shut beggining to end.
So the final thoughts of this is that, this space flights might get in the eyes of curious billionares in the near future, but wont be for those 70yo 80yo guys like besos and this one...
it will be for the late 30yo 40yo [assuming there isnt any 20yo billionare in this plannet]
so as long as the billionare population in this plannet is very low... and 250.000 IS A LOT OF MONEY TO PLAY WITH even for a millionare, i believe there wont be much public for space flight
even more because if any passenger decides to buy the ticket at impulse, then he gets there he shits himself like this one... videos and public reviews will be blasted of people scared and regret of the adventure...

Burt Rutan who's team designed and launched the first version of this aircraft into the air 20 years ago must be glad to see this day. Thanks to Branson for the help completing it.
depending on who's definition of where space begins, they either were or were not in space. Technically they were not in space, hence no re-entry resistant fuselage materials are needed. They just go really high and fall for a while
It doesn’t matter how high they went or whether or not they were “in space” - they don’t need heat-resistant materials because they never achieve anything close to orbital velocity. It’s that velocity that represents the energy that must be lost when an orbiting vehicle re-enters. If you were to go 100, 300, or even 500 miles straight up and back down, you still wouldn’t encounter that level of re-entry heating.
yes right they would burn on re entry from the cosmos am i right like space ships when they re entry needs to get the right angle there is still chance to hit the orbit and get back to the cosmos so just they get above the gravity or something buy it is still cool.maybe the coming back space ship can slow down that much to re entry without burning in the atmosfere
@@bartoszfon7107 They are not beyond gravity, in fact at the hight they are, gravity is the same as on land. They are weightless simply because they are falling. They just went very high and then fell down again
@@bobmyersco As I said, they just went really high and then fell. Not in space, not in orbit, not anything really.

@@MissK816 It is... it's all self serving with no practical application unless you plan to use it to develop actual space launch systems down the line. Basically just a toy for the rich at this point... since all the planned virgin galactic ships are of a similar design that's probably all it will ever be.
One more thing, I guess you could say it gives people jobs... but unless designs and patents are shared then it doesn't really advance us as a species.
I want a seat on this trip. My earliest memory is flying a fighter jet (specifically an F16) 10 meters of the ground (I could see the wing nearly touching the ground as I banked, 5 meters or so beyond the wing tip). And as soon as I realized the Earth was a spinning ball in space my next dream was weightlessness above Earth. I've had those dreams so many times I cannot even count them. THANK YOU sir richard branson for getting on board with Burt Rutan's concept, its THE way to go suborbital, and it'll be a really cool way to travel soon (just remember to charge a profitable amount not like concorde who charged way too little, charge what someone thinks its worth to arrive from space for a dinner on another continent).
And yes, I'll only buy a ticket if its dirt cheap or a really expensive treat, no middleground. So don't undersell yourself if dirt cheap isn't profitable. I'll pay several years of saved up money to arrive at an airport where a buddy picks me up for an eve online meet, if I arrive in a spaceship from another continent. And I would probably also go from Norway/scandinavia to an Eve meet in London. If I could have the spaceship roll right up to his waiting uber with my buddy in it.
I would think that, for a man who has it all and is rarely moved by things, it speaks volumes just how excited he was during this experience. Imagine how every day people would react!
It's 20+ years in the making.

Despite what judgemental people say, I congratulate all at Virgin Galactic for this great accomplishment, and wish them and Virgin Orbit continued success.
They did what the X-15 did in 1959 and are so pathetically short of reaching actual Low-Earth Orbit that this remains a complete and total waste of time for being of any true consequence to anyone. Can't even reach the 62 mile international definition of space (Karman Line).
@@seraphiquevox the difference is that this can carry civilians to see space for the first time
@@f3p so can the Russians if you got the money. So what?
@@seraphiquevox There are talks to lower the Karman line with new scientific understanding of the atmosphere. The demarcation between the atmosphere and space is very hazy, as the ionosphere extends past even the ISS.
In regards to the flight, you are missing the point. Back in the days of the X-15, those were piloted by a single military test pilot.
Virgin Galactic has done a similar flight, but in a manner that civillians with minimal training can be passengers. That is a huge innovation, as it marks the beginning of space opening up to people other than astronauts.
In time, we will see more and more people on real orbital flights.
SpaceShipTwo is a stepping stone. Unlike the X-15 program, it will actually lead to the development of rapidly reused commercial spaceplanes - that will change the world.
@@WasatchWind the X plane program is a stepping stone to manned spaceflight (in USA at least). They didnt do it with "Spaceplanes" in the end because getting to Low-Earth Orbit in such a ridiculous vehicle is not going to happen. This changes absolutely nothing. Orbit or Bust.
