FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Virgin Galactic is the most visible of a handful of companies developing
spaceships for tourism, research, educational and business purposes.
SpaceShipTwo, the first of Virgin’s planned five-ship fleet, has completed 31
atmospheric test flights – 15 attached to its carrier aircraft
WhiteKnightTwo, and 16 glide tests, William Pomerantz, Virgin Galactic’s
vice president of special projects, said in a speech to the conference.
Preparations for the ship’s first rocket-powered flights are under way at
Scaled Composites’ Mojave, Calif., plant and expected to take place this
year.
“We hope to have the rocket motor in the spaceship later this year and
start powered flight testing,” Virgin Galactic chief test pilot David
Mackay told the conference.
“We would like to be the first to do this, but we’re not in a race with
anyone. This is not a Cold War-era space race.”
“We flow pretty quickly from first powered flight to first flight to
space and then it’s not terribly long from there until we have our first
commercial flight to space,” Pomerantz told reporters later.
He said passenger service could begin in 2013 or 2014, depending on the
results of the test flights and other factors, such as pilot training.
