00:00At Virgin Galactic, we've made incredible strides forward.
00:13Our spaceship Unity proved itself, completing six spaceflights in six months, creating 19 new astronauts.
00:21A launch rate never seen before in their history of human spaceflight.
00:26Without a doubt, the most sensational day of my life.
00:30And we're just getting started.
00:43Introducing the design of Virgin Galactic's Delta-class spaceship.
00:48Delta is a next-generation design, with each vehicle creating thousands of astronauts in its life cycle, broadening the opportunity of space travel from the few to the many.
01:03Delta-class spaceships will upgrade our number of passengers from four to six, and will harness the supersonic might of the world's most powerful hybrid rocket system.
01:21Delta-class spaceships are designed in subcomponents, and built using state-of-the-art aerospace development practices, enabling a far more efficient and rapid build.
01:33A new design brings new efficiency, to get us back in the air faster between flights.
01:39Spaceship Unity is limited to fly once a month, whereas Delta spaceships will be able to fly twice a week, over eight times more efficient.
01:51Manufacturing spaceships in this way allows multiple vehicles to be made.
01:55With each spaceport around the world having up to five ships in their fleet, Virgin Galactic's Delta-class vehicle isn't just a spaceship, it's the start of a space-line.
