So, this has very little to do with timepieces but I’m going to spin it nonetheless.
When Sir Richard Branson and his crews at Virgin Galactic actually get up beyond the stratosphere, do you think they’ll be rocking the Seiko Spacewalk, or will the commission a beast from another watchmaker? Just wondering to myself, and to you of course…
Virgin Galactic, owned by Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group is on track to be the world’s first commercial spaceline. The new spaceship (SpaceshipTwo, VSS Enterprise) and carrier craft (WhiteKnightTwo, VMS Eve) have both been developed for Virgin Galactic by Mojave-based Scaled Composites. You should definitely check out these innovative companies.
