A former space shuttle manager at NASA (now president at Virgin) told CBS:
"It's a small community. I know dozens of people who work at Blue Origin, I know dozens and dozens of people at SpaceX, and we all used to work together at NASA. And I wish every single one of them the best.... Because all of us together is what's going to get humans into space and our culture to recognize that space travel is the foundation for the future for everyone..."
He also described Branson as "happy, excited... But that excitement is really infectious. And so the whole crew is feeling it."
Saturday Jeff Bezos posted a picture of Richard Branson on Instagram, with the message "Wishing you and the whole team a successful and safe flight tomorrow. Best of luck!" (And Elon Musk tweeted out a video of Branson too.)
