That was the reentry; there is not much more to that. It is no more than an expensive zero-g flight.

I want a seat on this trip. My earliest memory is flying a fighter jet (specifically an F16) 10 meters of the ground (I could see the wing nearly touching the ground as I banked, 5 meters or so beyond the wing tip). And as soon as I realized the Earth was a spinning ball in space my next dream was weightlessness above Earth. I've had those dreams so many times I cannot even count them. THANK YOU sir richard branson for getting on board with Burt Rutan's concept, its THE way to go suborbital, and it'll be a really cool way to travel soon (just remember to charge a profitable amount not like concorde who charged way too little, charge what someone thinks its worth to arrive from space for a dinner on another continent).

[@lazygamerz]

And yes, I'll only buy a ticket if its dirt cheap or a really expensive treat, no middleground. So don't undersell yourself if dirt cheap isn't profitable. I'll pay several years of saved up money to arrive at an airport where a buddy picks me up for an eve online meet, if I arrive in a spaceship from another continent. And I would probably also go from Norway/scandinavia to an Eve meet in London. If I could have the spaceship roll right up to his waiting uber with my buddy in it.

@@andreasprethaler5705 You really think it feels different to go a few kilometers higher? The sky around you is black, you see the curvature of the Earth below you out the windows, and unlike in a skydive it feels like no force acts upon you. I ask you, do you go 20km away from shore, do you feel like you're not in the open ocean just because its still 2.2km until you reach international waters? You can't see land either way. Do you come home having fished and go "I didn't really go fishing in open waters, UN says i was 2 kilometers inside the country still"? PS: 81km is 3 times higher altitude than SR71, the UN made 100km the space limit 50km higher than ramjets would ever fly, to make it the definitive "border to international waters, in space".

[@atreyuschronicles8589]

Sir Branson. Going vertically in a rocket is you know, OK. Taking off conventionally and injecting into the ethereal in the way Unity 22 does it, is the better experience and builds a suspense that is lost in a vertical launch.. Hats off to you Sir. If I were one that was in that market, I would choose your method of injection beyond the stratosphere over all others currently. A simply analogy, hot rod vs. Porsche. Needn't say more. You currently have the equivalent of a Porsche for Space Travel, pure experience getting there and the glow after arriving.
