Virgin Galactic launched its sub-orbital spaceplane "Unity" on its first crewed flight in two years, carrying two pilots and four company astronauts to the edge of space in a final test flight before paying customers begin sub-orbital jaunts in June.

The sleek rocketplane, bolted under the wing of Virgin's twin-fuselage VMS Eve carrier jet, took off Thursday from the company's Spaceport America runway in New Mexico at 11:15 a.m. EDT. Looking on was company founder Richard Branson, who was on board for Unity's last flight to space in 2021.
