The future of space travel is not just for a select few; it's for all of us. The #Galactic02 crew got a glimpse of the transformative and unifying power of space when they visited Spaceport America for the launch of our #Unity25 mission.

Keisha's fascination with the skies above began as far back as she can remember. Since then, she has held on to her dream of venturing into space, even when it seemed impossible for someone from her small island nation of Antigua & Barbuda. On August 10, she'll realized her dream on #Galactic02 and make history alongside her daughter as the first astronauts from the Caribbean.
https://twitter.com/virgingalactic/status/1684231469533900801Keisha sees her journey to space as an opportunity to enrich her work as a health and wellness coach, enabling her to share her new perspective and insights with others, encouraging the world to see the "beauty in life."

Ana is an insatiably curious college student and aspiring astrobiologist who thought space was just a distant dream. That was until her mother Keisha surprised her with spectacular news — they would fly together aboard #Galactic02, making Ana the second youngest person ever in space! Professors, take note — this girl's reaching for the stars and beyond! 🌠📚
https://twitter.com/virgingalactic/status/1684962452260466688Space knows no boundaries, and neither should the opportunity to explore it. Before earning her college diploma, Anastatia will fly on #Galactic02 and show how curiosity is the single most important qualification you need to be a part of the next era of space travel.
