Will you buy one? Ever since the independent space agency finished its spaceflight system, the company wanted to send Earthlings outside the planet's orbit.
Virgin Galactic's first commercial flight successfully brought Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, into outer space.
Now, the space company wants to conduct more commercial spaceflights so that more non-astronaut people can reach Earth's orbit.
