TL;DR Summary

Virgin Galactic completed a successful suborbital test of the VSS Unity spaceplane, marking the final glide test before rocket-powered spaceflight tests begin in the coming months. The company hopes to resume its space tourism services soon and plans to use the upcoming spaceflight tests to assess the customer experience and ground-based testing before reopening commercial service. Virgin Galactic received clearance almost two years ago from the FAA to haul passengers into space.
