Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo reaches space, bringing space tourism closer

jeudi 13 décembre 2018, 17:08 , par BoingBoing
Today in the Mojave desert, Virgin Galactic had a successful test flight that reached 50 miles above the surface of the earth, meeting the Federal Aviation administration's definition of space. This places the company one step closer to the long-awaited goal Richard Branson promised: space tourism.

SpaceShipTwo, welcome to space.
