The new rocket of Virgin Galactic, VSS Unity, made the first rocket-powered test flight on April 5, 2018. This was a big step for the Virgin Galactica project. The previous test flight took place in 2014. The VSS Unity apogee was 26 km (84 271 ft) and the top speed was 1.87 Mach which is about 2000 km/h. Now I am waiting for more rocket-powered test flights!
