Who is Virgin Galactic?
Virgin Galactic is a company established by Richard Branson's Virgin Group to undertake the challenge of developing space tourism for everybody.  It will own and operate privately built spaceships, modeled on the history-making SpaceShipOne craft.  These spaceships will allow affordable sub-orbital space tourism for the first time in our history.  Virgin Galactic will run as a business with the sole purpose of making space travel more and more affordable to people throughout the world.  They will reinvest funds made over the first few years back into the business striving constantly to lower prices.
