I like that he's working to inspire the next generation.
Richard Branson is a fine Briton and I'm glad he fulfilled his dream
It's always great to see people with decency to the future generations and not only themselves!
To hate him
@@thepenguin9 that's not how nationality works. It works like this. The British fucked up colonization, and now one of them is so rich from colonizing your phone, they've left earth.

"To all you kids down there, I was once a child with a dream, looking up to the stars. Now I’m an adult in a spaceship, with lots of other wonderful adults looking down to our beautiful beautiful earth. So the next generation of dreamers, if we can do this, just imagine what you can do." ~ Richard Branson
Phew...powerful stuff right there.
Bone classic. That'll be quoted for as long as we can hold on to our dreams. Inspiring.
Clear up the mess they leave behind?
What is new? People have been going to space since 1961. I am not impressed not one bit. When we have people traveling back and forth into space staying in resorts that are in orbit then we are progressing.
What you can do if you're a billionaire
I was once a kid with a dream to ride the Gravitron at the County Fair. Last week, I made that dream come true
That ride makes me so sick, as a kid I could ride it all day long, now in my 30s took my son on it once and was nauseous the rest of the day.
Dream, dream, dream, your dreaming your life away.
Did you also dream of revisiting your lunch? That dream came true for me when I rode the Gravitron
This really does look rather fun! Congrats Richard and Virgin Galactic!
Branson needs work on his inflight video hosting… I nominate Marcus to help w the next flight.
@@xiaoka Hey Hey
Why? They repeated what people could do decades ago and did not even cross the Karman line. This is no space travel, it's a publicity stunt with overblown marketing.
What a waste of money. Accomplishes nothing. Meanwhile, back on Earth, governments are masking children in public schools and we aren't able to travel without submitting proof of medical tests. What a joke.
Marcus, do you think he had really gone to space?
"Now I'm in a spaceship with lots of other wonderful adults." Other adults: weeeeeeeee 🏃♀️🏃♀️

From selling records from a payphone to this. He's not done too bad in all honesty

Only because of the infrastructure paid for by tax payers. And He doesn't pay taxes like all billionaires. Don't fall for his lies.

Chief Executive Officer Virgin Galactic Astronaut 001 - Sir Richard Branson, I watched Your Historical First Spaceflight live together with the Entire Virgin Galactic Team from the comfort of my home and I loved every second of the most professional space broadcast that I have ever seen in my life! You Sir are the first, most awesome and humble Space Billionaire Grandfather on this planet and you are definitively a massive inspiration to all humanity on this planet! Your childhood dreams have become a space reality and the world is a better place because of people like you and I am sure that Eve would agree with me!
You gotta admire a guy with the courage to go up there himself. He just increased the confidence of all tentative buyers 10X.

@W.S K.E ❤️
For all you guys saying this is just for the rich just remember. Back in the late 1980’s a cell phone was a rich mans toy. I specifically remember a buddy of mine seeing a cell phone mounted in a Porsche and saying “those are just so rich people can look cool”. Same with the HD flat screen TVs, supposedly those were only for the rich too. All new technology or new ways of using existing technology is always expensive at first but you have to start somewhere. If we can keep at doing things like this the price will come down and it’ll eventually be for most anyone just like those cell phones and HD TVs were back in the day.
Exactly. So glad to see someone who gets it.
Yes thanks for saying what needs to be said. There are a lot of jealous haters in here.
School has failed so many people, they have no idea where money comes from. Just think back a few hundred years, was a handful of beads a fair price for Long Island? Who got the better end of the deal? Small wooden boats gave way to much bigger steel ships, which gave way to large aircraft and a few explorers led the way for hundreds of thousands of tourists. The timeline will be different but, the end is the same, people will travel in space just as easily as we take a bus/train/aircraft today.
We have to start somewhere. At least now, it's a reality... not for many yet but it is a start.
Ye but phone is something useful, this is just an attraction, which u dont need

A dyslexic disadvantaged child with big dreams. You wouldn’t accept the words “you’re just a dreamer”, “that’s too risky” or “maybe someday”.

I didn’t think it was possible to make constant win from tradlng till I came across Daniel Wright program for people who lack understanding on how tradlng Bitcoin works, to help them recover loss from the crash and also stack up more bitcoin, since January till date I have made over 23 BTC from 4.7 Btc with Daniel's help.

Richard Branson's Message From Space: "ALL OUR PRICES WILL NOW BE GOING UP!!!"
Basic economics would say the contrary but alright.
In 10-15 years, normal middle-class citizens will be able to reach to the edge of space like mr Branson. Congratulations!
Yes, For the price of a small car, you too can do nothing of use for 4 minutes in "zero" gravity...
I hope so, but i think it will take longer prices have to go down a lot.
Yes, any billionaire like Sir Richard Branson can spend £250,000 to get high. I don’t think it cost him that much to get high when he was younger.
@@randar1969 You're right but if more and more companies wanna do like VG, then the cost will go down a lot. But we'll have to wait and see.

It's crazy to think that in a 1988 interview, one commenter asked if he would ever go to outerspace and he said something like, "If you build one, I'll be there with you." He made it! I was emotional to watch the live. I realize the camera and feed had some issues but just knowing that this group of people went there was amazing.
Your seem like an inspiring and deep person. I love the words in your comment, and the words in your bio. But you have no videos? What happened? You seem like a special person with a lot to share ❤️
Hello i will like to know more about you.
@@ARlELATOM Thanks! I made my videos private.
Lol outerspace barely even got out of our atmosphere and tbh by some definitions not actually into space only 53miles up. Yuri got To 187 in 1961. You need to be 100miles or higher to be in a sustainable orbit so this thing didn't even break free from our planets grip by a long way.
Screw Richard Branson for privatizing the NHS
What’s he really saying is “to all you broke people that can’t afford to live my expensive lifestyle, keep dreaming because you will never be able to afford what I’ve got, I’m in space and your down there, tiny humans”.
no hes not
and what you are saying is that you are a person jealous of other people's success and don't want to succeed yourself.
@@hjs582 that’s exactly what I’m not. I’m successfully happy with where I’m at. Although I do have my goals dialed in if I had this guys money I wouldn’t be worrying about space travel.

All I can say is that this is one top man who inspired and somewhat shaped me to who I am and what I'm striving to be. Thank you Sir Richard Branson
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if thousands of flat earthers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Must be hard for them to be silenced every few month nowadays where there are people like Elon, Jeff and Richard in addition to nasa.
I agree with what you're saying, it should be undisputed and we should move on to greater, actual questions about our place in space. However I'm of the belief that "a man that can convince himself without reason cannot be convinced by reason"

Congrats on being rich--must be fun!
“now I’m an adult in a spaceship, with lots of other wonderful adults looking down to our beautiful beautiful earth.” The adults in the background “Weeeeee!” *smiles while playing on zero gravity *no one looking down to see the beautiful earth Lol. It’s nice to see adults play like kids again though.
If you think about it, it is really kinda like that. You see, as kids, we have fun discovering how this world "works" including the physics of it. By the time we're adults, we're well acquainted with it and it's not the same fun as it used to be when it was new. However, zero gravity is a physical way to interact with the world which IS totally new to these adults. So they definitely are like kids at that moment.

@@evolicious being born in a middle class family or as a normal human doesn't mean you have to also die like that. Nobody is born great. It's their mindset that makes them great. If we only think negatively and always stuck with our little day to day life problems, then surely we'll die like that. And moreover it's more about the whole humanity, rather than individual. If our ancestors also stuck in their day to day little problems, humans wouldn't make this far.
I think that space flights will be cheaper and cheaper once the technology will be more developed. Now, the production is quite expensive so it’s actually obvious that only billionaires can fly.
"If we can do this, just imagine what you can do.."
Yeah with what resources?
Yes, that's what I've thought about too. The future is in space, not people realizing things that are past the pinnacle point. It's sad, that Gen Z, is probably the last generation to experience nature in it's true, pure form.
Because we have money, just imagine what you can't do.
@@barringtonmorris90 he didnt start out with all these resources
@@amyashby6464 He was born into a VERY well to do family.
Incredible achievement! Well done on inspiring future generations 🥳 Congratulations 🥳
It's important to think long term about future generations. We should want our children to grow, succeed and expand their minds. There's an unfortunate trend of many humans only thinking short term. However, thinking long term and planning ahead has advanced humanity a great deal. In ancient times, we monitored the seasons. We saw that some months, food was more plentiful and easier to grow. We found methods to preserve food for long periods of time to prepare for food scarcity later on. We know that some seasons are very cold. We chop wood months before to plan for the winter ahead. Advancement and research into Space Science is the ultimate long term way for humans to plan ahead. We need to be a multiplanetary species. Earth is great but it takes up so little space compared to what's out there in space.
His message as he reached his accomplishment is more important than the accomplishment itself. To promote and inspire the next generation of minds to reach past the the stars.
He is so Right. We all must thrive for what we really love to do. Thanks so much for inspiring.
Richard Congratulations. I know this fun project of yours to get your own aircraft into space has been in the works for years. Im so glad you finally attained and reached this goal. 🌟💯☸🙏Mind over Matter anything is possible.

This is going to go down in the history books as the start of the space age
Commercial space turism*
Oh yeah definitely not like the moon landing or anything
you forgot that spacex doing it way more exciting right
I am beyond glad that corporations and their leaders stepped in to do what NASA has failed to do. They get way too much hate on the internet - all of the major players in the space industry are literally giving humanity a chance for a future. Even a silly space tourism company is going to produce off-shoot technologies and businesses.
Less than 2 minutes cabin time after burn... history books 🤣
Amazing! He was last to take off the seat belt you can tell he is a genuine person !
Agreed. Personally, I'd be more interested in the view and spend most my time looking out the window. Zero g looks awesome however
wat
Yeah seemed like he was letting then have fun due to the not having enough space (hehe). What a gangster letting them have some fun first before unbuckling.
I’ve seen so many mockups and graphics of what space tourism would look like. Now it seems uncanny to see the real thing become a reality.
Yes，we next generation will do more，thanks for your inspiration
Proven that thoughts may create reality.
Not "may", they "DO" create your reality.

Exactly!
For every success there are thousands failures. Not everyone can succeed.

Thank you For bringing humanity and hope back to our kids and future generations your a real one Mr.Branson 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Remember when the Stream cut out
This is fantastic, congratulations all involved!
Flat Earthers be all, "But... the dome?!"
Flat Earthers watching in the crowd be like:👨🦯🦯
Flat earthers: it’s all CGI in a Hollywood studio.
Flat earther not going to space because of the dome or denying the evidence and proving it wrong
