Richard Bransons' trip to space

Bransons' Virgin Galactic had their first flight to the edge of space ABC News reports.

The space plane detached from the mother ship at an altitude of about 13 kilometres and fired its engine in a bid to reach the edge of space about 88 kilometres up.

At the apex of the climb with the rocket shut down, the crew experienced a few minutes of near zero gravity before the space plane shifted into re-entry mode and began a gliding descent to a runway back at the spaceport.

I wonder if NASA will ask him to go and fix Hubble.
