Michael Blum is high on the list to fly when Virgin Galactic starts taking paying customers to the edge of space. Veteran space journalist Leonard David reports in his blog that Blum told him progress towards his flight is being made.
According to Blum, VG told him that test flights of the giant WhiteKnightTwo, the aircraft that will carry SpaceShipTwo to altitude, will begin in two or three weeks. Ground tests of the aircraft's systems are proceeding well. Test flights will continue into next spring, when test flights with SpaceShipTwo attached will begin.
A new era might be creeping over the horizon.
