Virgin Galactic took its first tourists on Thursday August 10 for a brief trip to space. The three passengers, Jon Goodwin, 80, Keisha Schahaff, 46, and his daughter, Anastatia Mayers, 18, spent a few minutes in space, 88 kilometers high. “It was without a doubt the most exciting day of my life”, said Briton Jon Goodwin after the trip. This mission, named Galactic 02, was the company’s third in three months, and the second commercial flight, after a first carried out at the end of June. But this one had transported senior Italian Air Force officers who had carried out several experiments on board, and not civilians making the trip purely for pleasure.
