First Virgin Galactic spaceflight touches back down to Earth after historic flight

Major milestone complete – the next spaceship in our fleet is, for the first time, carrying its own weight. In this milestone, all major structural elements of the vehicle were assembled and the vehicle deployed its main landing gear. We've reached Weight on Wheels in the build of our next spaceship considerably faster than it took to get to this stage with our first spaceship, VSS Unity, which is currently in flight test. Our third spaceship is making good progress too! https://virg.in/532 | Vi
