Virgin Galactic conducted the first manned test flight of its aircraft mothership/suborbital spaceship configuration Thursday, and the company was pleased with the result.
The two craft were not separated during the six hour flight, but systems were tested and passed with flying colors, to turn a phrase. Presumably, the successful test flight leaves VG on track to commence commercial suborbital flights sometime next year.
