At the end of April, Virgin Galactic announced the success of SpaceShipTwo's first rocket-powered flight, which led the company to believe a full space flight is possible by the end fo 2013.
"The first powered flight of Virgin Spaceship Enterprise was without any doubt, our single most important flight test to date," Branson said. "For the first time, we were able to prove the key components of the system, fully integrated and in flight. Today’s supersonic success opens the way for a rapid expansion of the spaceship’s powered flight envelope, with a very realistic goal of full space flight by the year’s end."
