Virgin Galactic Spacesuit

[Hans Tucker (Hans)]

I maybe late to the party but I noticed, during Virgin Galactic's founder Sir Richard Branson catwalk showing off VG Spacesuit, the evolution style icon on the back ... now that is cool IMO... others will probably disagree.

Yeah, I do disagree. Having the Virgin ship pictured at the peak of flight evolution is pretty arrogant, but that is Branson marketing at its best.
The Virgin Galatic ship will never go higher than a short suborbital joy ride for the wealthy, and will be consigned to history within five years of limited operation.

Branson is just a different branch in the flight evolutionary tree Glen.

And that is what I find cool about it .. that boyish arrogance and Branson success has always hinged on good marketing .. just like Apple and Steve Jobs. I wasn't looking at the Technical accuracy. All successful people have a level of arrogance even the beloved Elon Musk.

Oh on a technical note .. VG missed the Space Shuttle after the LM and before VG1.
