Last week was a great week for us. Not only did we announce LauncherOne, our new small satellite launch system; reveal that four private companies have paid deposits for flights on LauncherOne; confirm that the major components for our rocket motor have been cleared for our first rocket-powered test flight at the end of this year; and cross the exciting milestone having more Virgin Galactic future astronauts who have paid deposits than there have been human beings in space ever… we also had another test firing of our rocket motor!
