You are mixing up Virigin Galactic and Virgin Orbit. One is suborbital tourism, the other is sat launch. VO is bankroupt. VG has raised so much money from clueless investors that they are not quite bankroupt yet.
- evandale 3y agoMy only point was it takes more than a billionaire with a dream to create a space program. VG is a complete failure from a getting into space perspective, I don't care how much money investors have given to them. They don't have anything unique or worth mentioning. How Branson shuffles money around between VG and VO is irrelevant if the goal is getting into space and the name of the company matters even less.
- dotnet00 3y agoTechnically what Virgin Galactic has is very unique. It's uniquely suited to killing people even moreso than the Space Shuttle. It's insane that they insist on and advertise being manually controlled by humans as a selling point.
