It's taken nearly 20 years but Sir Richard Branson is finally taking paying passengers to space.
Their introduction will be vital also for getting Virgin Galactic to profit.
Col. Walter Villadei, Lt. Col. Angelo Landolfi, and engineer Pantaleone Carlucci oversaw a range of experiments during their flight, including a study of how weightlessness affects the mixing of liquids and the behaviour of biological cells. Back then, Sir Richard thought he could introduce a passenger spaceliner based on the SpaceShipOne concept by 2007.
The spaceship is designed to give its passengers stunning views at the top of its climb, and allow them a few minutes to experience weightlessness.
