People keep saying VG is dead, yet big companies are buying thousands of stock for cheap, they just built a new warehouse for plane building, they have enough money to build their new Delta fleet and theres over 800 people reserved in backlog to fly...
virgin is dead in general virgin hyperloop failed with money burnt like a wildfire virgin galactic didn't get anywhere with a sustainable business model
Fun fact, The original design for Spaceship 2 was 6 passenger and two pilots. That number was reduced to 4 passenger when the vehicle design got heavier. The space for the two seats still exist on the first SS2

You are missing one tiny thing from "first I heard about it" era, back then Virgin Interactive and its music stores could have covered the Galactic and some more.
Don't agree there is anythng inherently wrong with the V.G. 's use of pilots. The accident could easily have been avoided if basic, sensible design practices had been followed. In this case, simply "locking out" the feathering control, so that it was inoperative when the vehicle speed was too great, would have suffied.
@occhamite Perhaps the same way the rudders and elevons are locked out when the vehicle is feathered. You.might even be able to use the same qualified assembly.
@@MrCateagle That sounds like exactly it. Whatever method, that a "critical design review" was either not conducted, or was so deficient as to fail to find all such cases of similar design oversights and deficiencies makes one think V.G. was not going to be a long-term contender in any case.
@occhamite I think that was carried over from SS1. Knowing the engineers involved with the Delta vehicles, I suspect that will be fixed there. Note that VG sidelined a SS3 vehicle in favor of going with the Delta vehicles.
I was at the X-Prize Party with the Ansari Family (who put up the prize Money), Burt Rutan (who designed it), Paul Allen (who funded the construction), and Richard Branson who announced the certation of VirginGalactic on the morning of Flight-2 to c. The 2 flights required to win the X-Prize was flown by test pilot Mike Melvill with 2 boxes to simulate the weight of 2 passengers. William Shatner was not at the party but hit me (unintentionally) in his excitement watching the landing of Flight-2 with his camera bag. It would be sad if VirginGalactic is not revived.
guys I want you to understand that when you're creating something completely new the masses will only doubt and NEVER will see the vision until its ALREADY DONE and than only they'll hail you as a "genius"
I have worked for them and they have a number of very good engineers working on Delta. Additionally, they are working with highly competent subcontractors here in the DFW area.
Their ONLY hope is to turn their facility into a museum (and space-themed restaurant) and charge people a $5 entrance fee to see the equipment. The restaurant might make a bit of money, but the museum will probably end up gathering dust.
I wish them the best in developing this new Delta spaceplane, but I realize the obstacles are huge and the odds are against them. There is only one other alternative for "relatively affordable" suborbital space tourism: Blue Origin's New Shepard vehicle. That one is still flying passengers currently.
Unlocking in the wrong flight regime could be very deadly as it locks both the rudders and the elevons. I should know, I did the verification report on the locking mechanism as well as the material compatibility report for the entire flight control system. It is impressive that the flight controls are purely mechanical with no "fly by wire" and they survive the "shuttlecock" maneuver without problem. My hat is off to the designers of that system.
@@GeoCalifornian Actually, there is redundancy within the flight controls. I've worked my way through the entire system. The feather function is separate from the main flight controls and it can be argued that the feather system needed the same lockout the elevon and rudder controls had. The same lockout mechanism could be used there, too.
@@GeoCalifornian Rather than automated the feather system, how about automating a lockout on the feather system? Tie the lockout unit into the Utopilot and air data systems and only unlock under proper conditions. This would be no different from the mach-limiter function in Learjet autopilots.
Thank you for the video, I totally forgot about Virgin Civilian Space Tourism. The first time ever is always mostly a failure, yet many lessons are learned.
Totalling agree with you! Ive Alsip been awaiting this since I was 24 yrs old. Its people like Richard Branson who continually innovate who end up showing us the way forward peacefully and progressfully.
I'll be honest I thought virgin galactic was still going & was in the middle of building a better & newer version of the space ship etc & it was only virgin orbital that went under which is the commercial launch system side of it
That’s exactly what’s happening, the only thing that’s fallen is their share price. Delta factory is built and ships are in production, only time will tell what happens next 🤷♂️
Their spaceship design is genius in many ways. By using aerodynamics and one mechanical system for re-entry they eliminate a lot of complexity and risk. What caused the test flight to break apart was pretty simple. They didn’t have a safety lockout of any kind on the switch to feather the spaceship. You also have to remember that their spaceship is an evolution of a highly experimental aircraft that was only ever flown by pilots who were deeply involved in the design and construction of the vehicle. It is no small fest to take an experimental technology demonstrator and turn it into a commercial production product. I’ll also point out the Blue Origin came very close to losing a rocket because of a computer issue. Boeing has struggled with their capsule as well. More complex isn’t always better or safer.
I am not hopeful for Virign Galactic in its current configuration. It is not really offering what the industry demands right now. The money is in orbital infrastructure and the odd probe. What could help the company is something like an SSTO concept or an assisted SSTO that could take passengers or cargo to LEO. Then perhaps with something larger and more powerful would they garner more interest than the super rich who will undoubtedly be concerned with the current scope of the project.
would love to hear more about technology development and partnership revenue. Frontier work rarely has straight foreward funding models. How sucessfull has Virgin galactic been in developing technology and selling some of it?
I can't help thinking that all these fee-paying passenger space flight schemes are little more than Stockton Rush's Titanic trips, but in the opposite direction. Insanely dangerous, but fortunately, overseen by the aviation safety bodies, at least for the atmospheric parts of the flights.
Because even in their "ideal" plan of 50 flights a year, they would still run a deficit of almost double their earnings, that's just not a sustainable business model. I would also imagine that if they actually did have 50 flights a year, the maintenance and whatever other costs would be even higher than with the planes mostly sitting in the hangar as they are now.
@@adamadamadamadam it does though, put simply, it's not profitable for them to fly, so they don't. They also don't seem to have a lot of customers, probably due to the relative obscurity of the company and the various safety concerns. But the main point is; they don't want to keep flushing money down a toilet so Richard Branson won't be subsidizing Virgin Galactic anymore. That in turn means they'll most likely fail, because of the huge amount of yearly revenue net loss.
They are designing a new spacecraft at the moment and not flying for now in order to save cash. They plan to rollout their new aircraft in 2026 if everything will go as they planned. I have no information they failed. Their share fell significantly for the last 5 years but I'd say it's because the entire market fell over this time not counting great 7 stocks
Could the drop in price be because Mr. Branson is no longer a galactic virgin after going to "space", therefore his company name no longer makes any sense?
Maybe they should shift to commercial airline type flights. Use those new ships to fly high speed very high up in the atmosphere and shuttle around the rich between locations at record speeds. Time is money and when you are rich, every second you can save is equal to making money.
It's a bit of a shame that such a stylish mode of sub-orbital transportation couldn't hack it. Now we're left with a variety of cylinders and cones that really don't inspire the mind.
Two spaceplanes are in current use: China's Shenlong, and Boeing X-37B. Additionally, Sierra Space's Dream Chaser should begin operating this year. SpaceX Starship deserves an honorary mention here as well I think, given how it "skydives" using 4 flaps.
@adamadamadamadam I'm pretty excited for Dream Chaser. In spite of it's promised capabilities I'm a little less excited for Starship/Superheavy as it looks unbelievably bland for what it does.
At this point, I think some single entity should just buy up everything even remotely related to spaceplanes, put the best engineers to work on it and say “make us the safest, most reliable, most comfortable vehicle to get people to orbit.” Let Musk, Bezos, and Beck get all the mass to orbit, and this spaceplane company can get the actual crews up there.
If there is still a faint heartbeat then virgin galactic is not quite dead and still a chance of survival. The British Government or Canada should fund Virgin Galactic or buy it for the technology. Maybe Russia or Saudi Arabia.
Mr. Musk is also not an engineer or designer which can be seen by the Cyber Garbage Truck as he insisted that MAGA Motors make his design.He is facing Felony Charges for his Full Self Crashing Fraud which has cost at least 44 people their lives... Musk is just another rich idiot who other idiots believe to be a genius...
I remember seeing these a few years ago and then absolutely nothing happened beyond that. The space plane idea seems cool but operating costs, R&D, they don't have another customer base to fall back on beyond people signing up.

5:15 Interesting that the spacecraft was able to fall slowly enough to keep it from needing things like heat tyles.

Always a chance that Elon and SpaceX lend a helping hand. It would be in his best interest to have as many space companies as possible if we are to reach mars and beyond. Although, it would also breed future competition in space.
How weird that you mentioned Dune as a space movie. I think maybe less than two minutes of the entire movie take place in space, same with the new Denis Villneuve version.
@2:43 I know engineer isn't a protected title in the states but neither Jared Isaacman nor Elon Musk is an engineer, nor do any of them have any scientific academic background.
That thing was a death trap. You should really be greatful they are not the way foward. Eventually StarShip or something like it will be the way to do a quick trip to sub-orbit on the cheap.

The main issue is their system can’t scale to fly large rockets to orbit. Blue Origin absolutely can.
But they can't get a rocket up on time. Failed launch last night..
