So it has begun... one man's fantasy brought into the homes of millions of Americans has now become a new generation's reach for the stars.

(CNN) -- British billionaire Richard Branson's dream of space travel that thousands of people can afford took a leap toward reality with the maiden flight of the world's first commercial spacecraft over California's Mojave Desert.

Branson's company Virgin Galactic announced Monday that the VSS Enterprise had successfully completed what it called a captive carry flight attached to a carrier plane.

The spacecraft's developer called it a "momentous day."

    I wasn't sure which part of the forum tbh… it is ST related… loosely… well, if it is supposed to be there I am sure a DEV/mod will move it… or delete it. I also don’t know the policy on links. It’s not harmful (CNN) but I know some forums have a zero-link policy. If that’s the case, I can amend later, I suppose…
