By Virtuoso CEO Matthew D. Upchurch Today’s unveiling of Virgin Galactic‘s SpaceShipTwo is another historic step toward the realization of commercial space tourism. Sir Richard Branson and his Virgin Galactic team have dared to dream that everyday people would want to escape Earth’s pull and see our blue planet as few before them have. Burt Rutan and his team at Scaled Composites have literally put wings to that dream, and today we saw firsthand the vehicle they have created. I could describe the composite material used to make the ship lighter, stronger and greener than any plane or rocket ever constructed. I could recite the years of development in concept and design, along with the huge financial commitments, that together have brought us to today’s event. But I’d rather leave the facts to the engineers, accountants and reporters and, instead, tell you what this means to me personally.

Afraid to find out what’s inside their head. happy for a new day of exploring Afraid to have to question themselves what really drives them every single day, other than a paycheck that gives them security and the freedom to take escapades.

Jaipur is known in India under the name of “The Pink city”, even if it’s not really pink but more of a light orange.

Jaipur is also one one the largest cities in India and also the gateway to Rajasthan, one of the most beautiful states of the country.
