“The spaceplane being developed by UK billionaire Sir Richard Branson has made its first powered flight.  The vehicle was dropped from a carrier aircraft high above California’s Mojave Desert and ignited its rocket engine to go supersonic for a few seconds.  Sir Richard’s intention is to use the spaceship to carry fare-paying passengers on short pleasure rides above the Earth’s atmosphere.  His company Virgin Galactic has already taken hundreds of deposits.”
