Michael Colglazier, Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Galactic said, "2023 was incredible for Virgin Galactic as years of R&D and flight test culminated in launching our commercial Spaceline and successfully flying back-to-back monthly spaceflights, each delivering an exceptional experience for our customers.
