On Saturday, May 22, 2021, Virgin Galactic’s VSS Unity spaceplane successfully completed its first spaceflight in over two years.

The spaceplane was released from VMS Eve at an altitude of about 44,000 feet then propelled itself to more than three times the speed of sound. The craft reached the edge of space at an altitude of 293,000 feet before gliding back through the atmosphere and returning to the runway of Spaceport America in New Mexico.

The video of the mission can be seen here –

    Why is it the wings of that “plane” are banked hard left but the fuselage is perfectly straight and level??? Photoshop by an imbecile?

      Hi RabbleRouser,
      Are you referring to when it is space and there are no air molecules to affect the wings?
