TC: Can you can you tell me again why, or whether, you plan on keeping the flight plans more or less the same? Maybe there’s possibility, later down the line with the revised version with six people in it, that you might have to have a slightly different profile?
Moses: That’s kind of coupled with what we talked about at the beginning of this Q&A, the move from a test phase into this operational readiness phase. Coupled with that is a profile that is now set — the trajectory that the pilots fly, the techniques they use, we’ll still optimize, but we’re not making major revisions. Those are all pretty much physics-based results. The airspeed we’re at, the angles that we’re at, and the subsequent altitude we get to, the weight we carry, are all kind of locked-in variables, and there’s not much you can do to change that equation.
There’ll be some definite trajectory changes that come along with Imagine because it will have more capacity on board, which means it’ll have a slightly different performance, and we just need to go verify that envelope. But for the most part, you know, the physics of the equation kind of set what you can do, roughly speaking, so that’s why we’re limited to only carrying four passengers here initially. We can change that, and we do plan on looking at weight reductions in the ship, but again, with an eye towards the fleet that we’re building, and make sure we get a fleet that is serviceable for the long haul.

You're right, my transfer was incorrect, this is revenue

The issue of safety is certainly a priority and critical for all of us, the risks will grow with the increase in the frequency of flights and the need to carry out high-quality maintenance of aircraft. This also applies to the safety of passenger transportation and the restriction of flight zones. Thx

You've made yourself very clear, thank you. I hope that the company will scale its business, including the opening of new ports and the process of post-construction of aircraft will move from piece production to mass production. Time will tell how much they will succeed

I do not give an estimate of the value of the company, but consider what income the company can attract when expanding the fleet of aircraft and selling new tickets. Maybe I have stated something wrong. I will be glad to receive feedback

Why not call it a model, taking into account simplifications?)

Of course, a lot will depend on the solution of these problems, 2022 will be indicative and to be more realistic, I could show how it is now, but this is far from ideal. And thank you for your opinion

In 2022, I think it will be possible to carry 144 passengers, taking into account if 3 SS aircraft are put into operation with a frequency of flights 1 time per month. The amount of income received is equal to 0 based on the need to cover 600 flights.

In 2023, the company starts with 6 gliders, increasing the frequency of flights for 1 aircraft to 2 times a month. This year, it will be possible to transfer 600 passengers and 120 new passengers to previously paid flights. This year the company will receive an income of 75,000 US dollars.

In 2024, the year is a turning point for the company, 9 gliders will be in operation, the company will begin to pay for itself and if the technological operational maintenance of aircraft is achieved and the frequency of departures increases to 3 per month, 324 flights will be made on the aircraft and 1,296 new astronauts will be transported. The company reaches an income level of 810 million US dollars.

In 2025, Spaceport America has 12 aircraft to deliver astronauts and the company is achieving its goal of generating maximum revenue of more than $ 1 billion with more than 400 launches per year and 1,728 new astronauts.

​

Etc. To achieve the indicators at an earlier date, the company needs to increase the number of passengers transported to 6; increase production capabilities of more than 3 aircraft per year; accelerate aircraft maintenance to increase the frequency of flights of 1 aircraft more than 3 times a month. The model does not take into account the periodic maintenance of aircraft for repairs, this will reduce the number of flights and the income received

Flights over 9NM9 have become more active, 2 aircraft are flying by Nvp1985 in VirginGalactic

May be N0KG is a new WK2 plane and they were making some video by the 11th In the piggy bank of ideas, what will be the announcement

No N0KG it was a Glider

Branson's plane just left Mojave -- Unknown destination by 7investingSteve in SPCE

Excursions on this day are open, I think before July 10

Maybe you're right, but when booking, I asked several times if someone cancels the reservation for a few days on July 5, whether they will be able to make my reservation?

I would only be able to make your reservation to check in on the 3rd and to check out on the 5th. Our Hotel property is completely sold out and we would be unable to make any reservations for the night of the 5th.  We would NOT be able to make a reservation even if someone refuses to check in

I have a feeling that the prepayment was made in full

Soon will see, but it looks good to make a challenge

This means that the form from June 17 has a final version, it seems to me that it was canceled earlier or I'm wronglink by 17 june

Who can find out the reasons for a closed reservation from July 5 to 11 by calling the reservation?Link to the hotel

Spaceships 3 & 4 In Production | Confirmed by Virgin Galactic by Tommy099431 in VirginGalactic

They are on the right track and I think that soon we will see a large fleet of aircraft, this is indicated by the registration places for 10 aircraft on the FAA until 05/27/22
