Virgin Galactic Seeks Public Input on New Spacecraft Name

Virgin Galactic Announces New Spacecraft Name

Virgin Galactic, a leading space tourism company, has announced the name of its new spacecraft as Apeiron. The Apeiron is designed to be a successor to the VSS Unity, Virgin Galactic's current spaceplane. The new spacecraft is expected to offer improved performance and capabilities, including increased payload capacity and enhanced comfort for passengers.

According to Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic's founder, the Apeiron name is inspired by the concept of the infinite or the boundless in Greek philosophy. The name reflects the company's vision for the future of space travel, where humans can explore and experience the vastness of space. The Apeiron is currently under development and is expected to make its first flight in the near future. Virgin Galactic aims to use the Apeiron to take passengers to the edge of space and beyond, marking a significant milestone in the history of commercial space travel.
