Virgin Galactic Space Tourism Update
by Suzanne Perritt, Virgin Galactic Accredited Space Agent

Dawn of an Era

On a blustery December 7th 2009 history was made in California’s Mojave Desert as Virgin Galactic revealed the world’s first commercial passenger space liner. Watch the video of the VSS Enterprise Roll-out.

Those in attendance were Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson, the majority of future astronauts with confirmed deposits, hundreds of international media … and of course the Virtuoso Accredited Space Agents who are escorting our pioneering clients into a new era in tourism.

Test flights of the carrier aircraft “White Knight 2″ have been under way since late 2008.

On a blustery December 7th 2009 history was made in the Mojave Desert as aerospace partners Virgin Galactic and Scaled Composites revealed the world’s first commercial passenger space liner.

Those of us fortunate enough to attend were among a heady crowd that included the visionary aerospace engineer and system designer Burt Rutan, Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson, the entire Scaled Composites team, about 170 future astronauts with confirmed reservations … and of course the Accredited Space Agents who are escorting these pioneering clients into a new era in tourism.

Also in attendance were Governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Richardson, respectively of California and New Mexico. The two politicians jovially bantered over whose state should rate higher for its involvement in the future of commercial space travel. California is a well-known aerospace incubator and New Mexico is quickly gaining a space-friendly reputation via its newest public works project, Spaceport America, where Virgin Galactic departures will take flight.

The air was charged with excited anticipation. When the big reveal finally came, the 800-strong crowd erupted into thunderous applause on seeing the spaceship suspended from the mother ship, VMS Eve taxiing toward them.

With the resounding smash of two champagne bottles held by the two governors, she was christened VSS Enterprise.

Test flights of the carrier aircraft “White Knight 2″ have been under way for nearly 12 months and flight-testing with the new spaceship will begin in the new year.
