The space tourism company is putting on a show for its founder’s first flight.
As billionaire Richard Branson prepares to launch into the stratosphere on Sunday, Virgin Galactic is pulling out all the stops to make its founder’s first flight a spectacle worth tuning into. The Late Show ’s Stephen Colbert is hosting a livestream of the event, and singer-songwriter Khalid announced he’ll be debuting a new single live on stage after the spaceplane’s landing. Branson has also teased plans to “announce something very exciting to give more people the chance to become astronauts” once he comes back down to Earth. The livestream will begin at 9 a.m. ET on Sunday on Virgin Galactic’s Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. The company’s website is also running a countdown to launch.
