Default Virgin Galactic spaceship completes test flight

Richard Branson’s company Virgin Galactic completed a supersonic test flight of its SpaceShipTwo passenger rocket ship.

The flight was the first return to the air for the company since a fatal crash in 2014.

Fascinating stuff, but it's a bit pricey at $250k
