Virgin Galactic Flight Showreel

The latest version of our flight showreel shows highlights from recent flight testing of Virgin Galactic's privately-built suborbital spaceship, SpaceshipTwo. The video also includes footage of rocket motor testing, our WhiteKnightTwo carrier plane, and our founder, Sir Richard Branson.

Based off the $10million X PRIZE winning SpaceShipOne, which successfully carried humans into space in 2004, the SpaceShipTwo system is currently undergoing testing in Mojave, California, USA, and will soon begin carrying astronauts into space from Spaceport America in New Mexico, USA.

The video includes footage from the first in-flight test of our 'feathering' system--a unique design, first proven on SpaceShipOne--which allows for safe and gentle re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.

Apparently this is making it's first passenger-carrying flight early next year. I look forward to it. No, I can't afford it. I don't personally know anybody who can. But this is the first step in making space available to the common person. The rich are volunteering to be guinea pigs for the rest of us. By the time the price gets down to something I (or my nieces and nephews, 15 years from now) can afford, it will be a thoroughly-tested system.
