Animation of a Virgin Galactic flight from launch to landing

With Virgin Galactic rolling out WhiteKnightTwo on Monday we thought it would be fun to highlight the Virgin Galactic experience. This animation shows what it will be like to takeoff, drop from WhiteKNightTwo, blast in to space aboard SpaceShipTwo, feel what it is like in microgravity for 4 to 5 minutes and then land again safely on the ground.

What if I don't want to show off my package, do they have looser space suits?

palmapanfu - That might not be a good idea in cast something went wrong you might not be able to react or even understand that this could be a real dire situation and you need to be quick and alert and follow directions. This looks safe but you must keep in mind that space travel is a serious business.

Skylon animation or not, the goal is efficiency in real launch with success.Dr w reed as just like the shuttle so sure of their product till it blew up in your hand like a toy with your high education mind blowing self centered man....I would'nt go around and cry out loud of your know how if I were you.....we have seen all your failures till now till someone else had done the crucial job for you.Good day Sir.

What does the Skylon spacecraft have to do with this video? Two completely different aircrafts and companies.

This isn't space the karman line where space starts which is 62 miles above the earths atmosphere this is not even above 10 is it ? but still would be awesome to do when other companies or virgin put the price down to like $1000.

Why the skylon video is a hoax scam.It must be an attempt to take viewers for dum.it must be weird to say that the rocketry launch depends imminently by a coolant system like a fridge to function.

If the skylon project is feasable why doesn't we have any real successful test flight as verifiable reliable proof.

The cheapest one is going for 20k, but you'll have to wait longer.
