For the first time in two years, Virgin Galactic flew its VSS Unity spaceplane to space, or at least the company’s definition of space, reaching a maximum altitude of 54.2 miles (87 kilometers). With the successful crewed flight, Virgin Galactic plans to restart its commercial space tourism offering, possibly as early as June.
