Virgin Galactic rockets tourist passengers into space

Virgin Galactic successfully launched its first tourist passengers into space, marking a major milestone in the company's pursuit of space tourism. The three passengers experienced weightlessness and admired views of Earth and space before safely landing in New Mexico. This achievement fulfills a nearly two-decade-old promise by founder Richard Branson to bring tourists into space. The flight also establishes Virgin Galactic as a competitor in the suborbital space tourism sector.
