While commercializing human space flight is the primary focus, it was also exciting to talk about the work our dedicated team is doing in the high-speed mobility field. We see huge opportunity in finding new ways to travel across the globe, drastically reducing travel times.
I am honored to accept this new role and continue to serve our amazing team. Taking on this new position at an exciting point in the company’s history is incredibly important to me and I look forward to making human spaceflight more accessible to all.
We’re pleased to announce the appointment of, @enricopalermo, as Chief Operating Officer of Virgin Galactic Holdings. Enrico will maintain his capacity of @TheSpaceshipCo President. Congratulations, Enrico! virg.in/5ST

We've completed the installation of the feather onto the next spaceship in @VirginGalactic’s fleet. The feather gives SpaceShipTwo the ability to change shape in space, ensuring a safe, aerodynamically controlled re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. virg.in/ijP

The spaceship we designed, built and flew for @VirginGalactic was the first commercial spaceship to carry a test passenger to space. Today, we're part of another first - now anyone can invest in a human spaceflight company.
