Virgin Galactic’s first crewed flight since 2021 was the last one before it goes commercial.
Unity 25 was the company’s first trip in nearly two years, but now Virgin Galactic (not Virgin Orbit, RIP) is preparing to launch “commercial spaceline operations” with the Galactic 01 mission in late June.
