LIVE: Virgin Galactic launches second commercial space flight

The window opens for Virgin Galactic's second commercial flight after a successful first flight in June. The firm is among the few U.S.-based space companies, along with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and Elon Musk's SpaceX, to cater to the burgeoning demand for commercial space operations and space travel. Passengers will include 80-year-old Jon Goodwin, the second person with Parkinson’s to go into space, as well as Omaze winners Keisha Schahaff and Anastatia Mayers, the first mother-and-daughter duo to go to space. #dailymail #space #virgin Daily Mail Website: https://www.dailymail.co.uk Daily Mail Facebook: https://facebook.com/dailymail Daily Mail IG: https://instagram.com/dailymail Daily Mail Snap: https://snapchat.com/discover/Daily-Ma...
