2:57 Today Space is Virgin Territory...
I don't know how I feel about that.
I agree … I think that cherry was popped a while ago
@@BoogersAndMilk 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Today space is cringe territory
Holy S***, thats not what I ment, But i'll take it. Guess my mind subconsciously naughty.
Putting claims on space already, not a good sign
Wow. Now that was some type of commercial. Glad everything worked out well. Tony Stark would have been proud of such a narration.
Like 20years
This is the first time
That s insulating
@@marmac3377 *insulting but completely agree with you
To all you kids down there, I was once a child with a dream, looking up to the stars. Now I’m an adult in a spaceship, with lots of other wonderful adults looking down to our beautiful beautiful earth. So the next generation of dreamers, if we can do this, just imagine what you can do." ~ Richard Branson
We need to worry about how much people are destroying this world before a business watch from a above, very soon they won’t able so see nothing but dust
he forgot to mention about $2 billion dollars to fulfill his dream..
@@ikramramli6410 It's dreams, hard work, drive, innovation and luck that lead to progress. Branson started out selling a student magazine and punk records.
Sure when we can, leave the earth polluted and destroyed.
I traverse the stars like a pebble skipping across water.
Nice work. Basically a high altitude airplane however. Not space per se as it doesn’t pass the Karman line. More marketing than anything.
Congratulations Sir Richard Branson, ......Greetings from Ghana, West Africa

What has your country achieved
Include flat earthers next trip . Their reaction would be priceless 😂
What's more priceless is that Branson and his team survived without pressurized suits.
@@ksamsel5809 the plane is pressurized?
@@david3n544 Then why do space shuttle actor nots always wear space suits on lift off and reentry?
@@fanbutton because the difference with the shuttle is that it's an actual mission capable vehicle that can go to orbit and endures a lot more than virgin galactic's spaceplane, which only goes to 89.9 km giving the passengers only about 4 minutes of weightlessness. And it's meant to be a tourism rocket, I think tourists would probably want to ride the thing without worrying about wearing pressurized suits :)
I haven't actually looked this up though, this is just my guess
@@david3n544 Spacesuits Built to Handle Pressure. There's a reason why Astronauts, U2 and SR-71 pilots wear them. To stay alive.
I thought by space you guys actually meant space. Not half the way to space people
If you are 52 miles straight up, you are in Space.
Just think of this as a first baby step to Deep Space flights...
@@BROON71 NASA faking space since 1959 !
@@70elcamino. The X-15 was a joint venture between the US Air Force and NASA. This was solely a civilian flight..
What an intelligent statement
@@robbyturbo109 I see another Infected person by stupidity
This very man, ask the government about 1bn bailout money for virgin just a couple months ago.
Different company
Maybe we should do away with public liability (ltd) companies then ?
Congrats to Sir. Richard Branson. As the technology develops and becomes more affordable, this may become a faster way to travel to any corners of the globe as well.
Thanks - quick question … will tickets be available on flexpay? If so, I’d like to split my ticket up over 20 to 30 years.
Lmao
Debating whether I should own a house in this lifetime or experience a single 7 minute skimming of space 🤔
Lol
I'd rather just spend the same amount of money on a Starship seat. And go to Mars...
@@user-yg5hk1yb3n
That's Mars mission not gonna cheap. Even just orbiting earth it's gonna cost 50-100 million per seat, depending on your rocket and spaceship.
So inspiring! Indeed available and accessible for anyone who who dare to see the possibility. Thank you for showing us the way Sir Richard!
Man...I'm so glad Sir Richard beat Lex Luthor, I mean,... Jeff Bezos into space.
Congratulations!!
So I guess Elon Musk is untrained Batman. Or lazy Batman.
@@stephenbachman132
Or nerdy iron man...
Very positive message. Congrats to Virgin Galactic.
So friggin positive, I love it. Inspiring af
Fake news... He was in the uppermost atmosphere; not space...
I remember my Dad telling me about Virgin Galactic when I was 6 years old back in 2008, ever since then I’ve followed their work and it’s great to finally see it in action after waiting for 13 years!
Loved the new studio. Video clarity and effects are surreal❤
Congratulations Virgin Galactic and All crew involved that made this mission a possibility.
Was Awesome to Watch. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🛩🛩🛩🛩🛸🛸🛸🛸
i was expecting space but it was just low orbit.
Much nonsense 🤣
Yeah where's the payoff?
This a race between the 3 billionaires. This was better than Elon’s little car ride into space. Jeff Bozo’s will probably have the best, most impressive flight as he is now in 3rd, he’ll have a jaw dropper.
@@sunmoonstars0369 do you know Elon's company is already ferrying astronauts to the ISS? That is way beyond this "space flight".
No orbit.
😢this was amazing
Fantastic Sir Richard from Northern Ireland
I didn't know Richard Branson till yesterday, but he seems so cool.
Congrats Sir good job to you and all involved I used to have a virgin Mobil for years
Shame on all of you posting negativity. This is an astounding feat. Grow up!
People are entitled to express themselves
this so called Sir is lying to the world saying mankind have "equal access to space"...
@@fiole666 someone doesn't get how progress works
@@LeonardPospichal oh I understand perfectly, lying obviously is not progress
@@fiole666 he’s not lying. This is the first time private people are able to go to space, and it will only get cheaper over time
Thank you
Incredible stuff
I remember a few years back when Ancient Aliens did a segment on the first test flight of the Unity..Richard was on the ground watching.
your comment was totally slept on :D
WOW! They flew very high! Not into outer space just space. We have already done that!
It's for the masses. That's why it's a big deal.
@@renorailfanning5465 The masses can't afford it...
We? StfuB!
@@radioflyer985 Not yet
WOW! AND WOW!! Look at this spaceship!! Sooo elegant! Sooo sleek!! Just beautiful!!! What a trip!!!! AMAZING!!!
Incredible achievement. Congratulations.
Amazing how humanity's main reaction to this here is passive aggressiveness.
I'm not sure why ether, the dude took a jet and a liquid thruster and barly got into upper atmosphere (not space, that's miss leading). It is not an achievement, NASA want to the moon 60 years ago.
I'm not sure why this matters or why anyone would care. They didn't actually do anything special either way.
@@ericmesser5030 Lets compare the vehicle necessary to get them there. His aircraft no bigger than a private jet or a rocket the size of the Empire State Building where 80+% of its weight was fuel. You still want to claim it isn't an achievement?
@@garyphelps6048 it’s an achievement, you know this days people just tends to talk stupidly and still try to add some stupid facts to support whatever TF they are claiming.
@@Hornetclaw Well here, prove me wrong. What was achieved?
Did he make it into space? No he was 12miles short and was in the mesosphere.
Did he travel farther than anyone else? No, we had people on the moon... 60 years ago with much less technology.
Did he reach orbit? No he did not.
Other than saying it is best for government funded programs to do space stuff, what did he achieve?
@@garyphelps6048 are you including the airliner that took the shuttle up? If you are it should be 3x the size of a private jet.
Also the goal was to get to space, he was 12miles short of that.
Amazing, sounds like a iron man movie.
Welcome Hollyweird with Rich...
Good form old fellow, it is so pleasing when one mans success is to be shared by so many.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to the Unity 22 crew!!!
Happy birthday Sir Richard Branson!!!
They gave Alain Shepard who did a sub orbital flight a ticker tape parade.
I got the chills
I think this is Wonderful!!!! so happy for you all and Humanity!
I hope this is just a beginning of sub- orbital flights!!!
What an amazing way to pat yourself on the back!!
Bravo sir Richard Bronson...
I guess this makes you the RC cola of space exploration.. ha
That feathered tail section is whoa! mind blowing. I'm officially impressed. Parachutes nah, mate (maybe as a backup, but that's all). The future got closer today!
The design originally came from "Space shipOne", an experimental spacecraft that was launched in 2004 in Mojave, California. It was designed by Burt Rutan. The Virgin Galactic spacecraft is based on it.
Awesome!!! I wish to go to one day 😎👍
So the earth isnt flat 😂
@@somejerk1520 no...no it is not, and yes you are some jerk
Lots of jealous comments on here wow. Congrats to Branson and the team, huge achievement!
Why are people jealous? The dude took a jet with a small liquid thruster and barly in upper atmosphere? If they are jealous of this the wait until they see NASA want to the moon 60 years ago.
I'm curious. What exactly was achieved? Is it a personal achievement? Or Business achievement? Or commercial achievement? An engeering feet for a jet plane to get up that high? Or just him and his money to get up that high and announcing to the world he made it up there. Please spell it out for me in plain English.
@@ericmesser5030 still believe we went to the moon… hahaha
Awesome!
On the video featured on CNN, just after Richard’s self-congratulatory speech, there was an outside view where you could see and hear space debris flying at and hitting the spaceship! .. Scary! Far more debris than I imagined would be at that height.
video link?
@@NaldzHobbySide just search to all you kids down there
Highly inprobably that if you hear a sound it is space debris hitting the spaceship. It could be anything but that. At that high space debri can't orbit it would be falling at deorbit velocitys perforating the ship because it would apear stationary relative to debris. Besides, if the probability to hit falling debris would be high enought so this would be the case, there would be no debris in orbit because they all would have already fallen.
@@cristopherdemczuk7658 It’s obviously debris - you can see it clearly on the video - Look at Virgin Galactic’s twitter feed, the top most pinned tweet and tell me what you think that is, if not debris?? You can see a chunk at the exact moment the video starts, and more clearly 26 seconds into it.
now where the debris is coming from is the only thing up for debate here. My only guess is that it might be ice coming from the craft itself, though I really have no clue. Please don’t reply till you see it for yourself.
@@truthbydesign5146 after I reply I watched the video again to see what you meant and yes there is the debri from the spaceship, you can tell that because it follows the same frame of reference of the ship (if it weren't from the ship you should see it falling at deorbit speeds, space debri isn't just floating there) The sound of something hitting the haul could be the crew spining around or another mechanical sound from the ship itself. The spirit of my response was to clarify the extremely low probability of hitting space debri already in space at that high, less in those amount.
What an amazing promotion for the new business and selling the dreams of the future with the kids!!!
Well you ain’t up there with him, so I do understand some of you are really pissed
That is awesome!
so good!
This is really awesome, visiting space in 1 hour is amazing. Hats off to the entire team
Good to know in the future the space is near and amazing
Super and fantastic .
New Era begins
Clever, clever people. How wonderful!
Wish my dad was alive to see that!
Don't worry, he's watching it from above 🙏
@@davy1220 pitiful theists
@@PotionsMaster666. No! Back under that bridge troll! You don't belong amongst the civilized.
@@huntsbychainsaw5986 stepped on that nerve did I.
😂
thanks for making it weird.
🤣 wth, this was just a parabolic flight!
What's funny ? What did I miss ?
@@PotionsMaster666 they didn't actually go to space, just used a long turn around to make Zero-G rather than properly leave the atmosphere
This man is incredible. The best approve is that he will be one the board. Great man!
Space travel for the ultra rich! As we languish in hunger and poverty, hahaha.
just like the first commercial flights. baby steps.
Thank God for the perfect landing!!!!! I love it!!!
Eagerly waiting for Santhosh George kulangara sir to experience this fabulous space journey.. and share with us.... Proud from india
Fly high and glide back to the same runway you launched from. More like an amusement ride than space travel. But, what a ride.
Talk about living a full life and living some more... lool. Congrats Sir
Nice one man
wtf does lool mean? I hate you.
@@jnkmal9519 love you right back. (If you are a chick.)
I hope they are not charging to much for this flight... Its not to much of a "Space Flight"...
you beat me to it man and its 1 mill $$
I grew up with rocket planes such as the X-15 and guys like Chuck Yeager. Bravo, Sir Richard!
beautiful plane, beautiful design
I want to see the video footage of his face when he was supposed to be going 2000mph. Bet you can't find it?
Was thinking the same thing. This is bs.
He was changing his jumpsuit.
All of this is a show and it's sad so many people are being decieved about space....I hope the truth is exposed soon. SMH
@@bigcoopy deceived how?
@@RyawnProdu don't get in a conversation with these idiots. It will only bring you down to their low level.
Thank you for the update, CNET..!! Sir Branson has been, and always will be the coolest billionaire in the world..!!
Congrats
I literally rode an elevator with him last month at his vegas hotel on the day I was getting married. It's my first ever celebrity encounter and I will never forget it. Really nice guy too! Also stay at the virgin hotel in vegas I absolutely loved it.
Space for Everyone .👍👍👍
Congratulations 👏🎉🎉
Everyone that's a millionaire...
Are you willing to take out a second mortgage on your house? If not, this means nothing to you..
so you believe his lie when he said we have "equal access to space" ? That's exactly why his speech was dangerous because some people will believe anything...
So if I ride along on a jet... that makes me a pilot?
Not pilot....astronaut
@@hcha7479 now that’s funny!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😃😃😃😂😂😂
Awesome
AMAZING!!!❤️
Thank you to Burt Rutan and Scaled Composites who designed the prototype for this spacecraft back in 2004.
You have done it sir !! Be proud !! Richard branson....
very cool
wow ... wonderful
Unbelievable experience I could only imagine!!! Lost for words How extrodanary and life Changing!!!
Remarkable things happen and people ask remember where you were at the time well today was a day of Unforgettable beginnings and ends !Stephanie 🌹 Rose here, from Florida 🌴
Fantastic 😊
Sweet love it 😀
Would any else have appreciated more pictures of earth from “space “perspective? No ?
They cannot reveal that earth is flat.
Where are all you nutjob conspiracy theorists coming from??
@@davidmusser7927 Do you know WHY they can't reveal the earth is flat? Because it isn't. You flat earth nutcases are a weird breed. 😂
@@ltpinecone he was clearly joking
@@vStewT agreed. people not recognising the ironic posts is just as cringe lol
As a SPCE stock holder I'm excited
How much did you invest
@@goldgiverbeatz7433 About $800 average price of $22
Awesomeness yes awesome...
Love it
Where are the pictures of earth from space??? Was waiting to be blown away with amazing pictures...
Waiting for an episode of Sancharam by Santhosh George with voice over by Anish P P
His sound is more beautiful than anish now...
Congratulations 🎉🎉
Inspirational
If only they had 5G network...
They could always ask Elon since he owns Starlink 🤣
No thanks
Very nice. Congratulations to the entire team and astronaut's!
In good shape
What geographic distance did they cover from take off to landing?
The most unhappy human soul today 11th July 2021, should be Jeffy the Amazonian.
Lex Luthor
Why though? Bezos ship actually surpassing the Karman line.
how'd you like bezos launch? boring af wasn't it?😂
Damn they couldn't figure out how to use the WiFi though...
They should drop T-mobile and look into Starlink
@@nathantcampbell Zoom score -3
Hahaha 😄
Amazing
Nice video
This is an awesome achievement what happened today. Congratulations to VG & Sir Richard. But was space really accomplished?
not really and I think the term astronaut doesn't really apply
@The Keen Tribe: Passengers were floating around in zero gravity, what more do you require on a successful test flight?
I learned the reason they felt weightless was because the vehicle was falling the same pace as the passengers. But I also learned they consider 50 miles the point of entering space. So I stand corrected. I congratulate Sir Richard Branson & Crew, along with Virgin Galactic for achieving their flight into space today!
And no; I am not a flat earther. The earth is round and the flight was not fake. :)
@@TheKeenTribe He that sitter in the heavens shall Laugh.
so much money for 10 seconds of 0G ?!
Forget being an astronaut
The first and lone Space Knight... Sir Richard Branson...
Excellent 👌👍
Never seen R B without a smile on his face, and why shouldn't he smile ? My kind of guy. What a role model.Congratulations.
This is not space exploration, just Low earth orbit, commercially……good job…..
If only UA-cam would show dislikes
It's not orbit. Not even close.
