jeff paul live at the site just miles from the launch pad and where they landed. man, jeff, what an exciting, historic day this has been. what was it like? >> eric, you can probably hear a celebratory mood here in truth or consequences, new mexico, a very hot day but also a very exciting one. years and years of work finally paying off for require ingalactic owner, richard branson, getting to that milestone, getting to space after working at it for so long. to of day started a little rocky with a 90 minute delay due to weather what happened overnight but that was really the only hiccup in the operation. everything else went at planned. you see the plane taking off, carrying that space rocket up to 50,000 feet which at one point then will then release that rocket where it shot straight up into the air. you hear a lot of people on the ground cheer as they saw the exhaust stream from the rocket. it got up past the 50-mile mark, what's considered space by u.s. standards. the live feed was hard to see but you could see the crew in there floating around. after a few minut

jeff paul.t to see that shot of richard branson kind of clapping his hands together, knowing that he's just completed this historic flight and just watching those pictures was something when you consider all the technology and the hard work and the risks involved and now we're looking at the plane having successfully completed its landing. your thoughts? >> yeah, 90 minute flight, a very historic one and he's back down on the ground. it's pretty surreal to think that in an hour and-a-half -- an hour and-a-half ago we watched him get into the suv and head out to space and now he's back down on earth in the matter of an hour and-a-half remarks would be a typical movie. so it's incredible just to see this experience, to see the technology, how far it's come and as you mentioned, sir richard branson has been working on this for years and years and finally he gets a chance to experience something that he has invested countless dollars in and now other people soon as they have booked tickets will get

i'm mike emanuel it's a great achievement for the company and space tourism jeff paul is live on-site at truth or consequences, what can you tell us. >> not only an incredible moment that happened but that it happened safely have a billionaire like richard branson who is shy of turning 71 years of signals if someone like this can go up into space and come back down 90 minutes later that the future of space tourism and other people can also follow those exact footsteps. there was a bit of a hiccup early this morning i weather delay due to high winds overnight but that was really the only major setback once they got through the 90 minute delay. everything went basically as planned the space plane took off enough fashion that you would be accustomed to see that normal airport once it hit the 50000-foot mark that's when the space plane detached from the fuselage and shooting straight into the air, climbing more than 60 miles we are told about the new mexico that's when the crew got a good view of planet earth and then they headed right back down to planet earth for a safe landing richard

jeff paul, we'll check in with you. thanks, jeff.well, richard branson's from england, but this is human achievement. maria: it sure is, will, and really this is a story of innovation and american innovation really because remember, it was just a couple of years ago back in 2019 when president trump signed that $740 billion defense agreement where he created the first space force. and back then it was mocked by the media when it was first floated. trump said that space is the world's newest war-fighting domain. it was the sixth branch of the u.s. armed services, the first new military service unit since the air force was created in 1947. now you see all of these big billionaire businessmen wanting to go into space, this is also a national security issue, and that's why president trump created the first space force because he knew that while we are trying to, you know, look into space and incredibly innovate in other corners of the universe, others are as well. china wants to be there first, and so once again it becomes part of our na

eric: and jeff paul is live in new mexico. man, what a morning, what a day, jeff. >> reporter: certainly. and, eric, really not only an incredible moment when branson and his crew blasted off, but equally when they landed safely back down here on earth. and that's what makes this sort of moment an historical marker so significant that a 70-year-old man could get up this morning, get on a spacecraft, fly up into space, feel weightlessness and then land in a matter of around 90 minutes and have enough time to talk about it all in the same day. really no major issues other than a slight delay earlier this morning before takeoff. other than that, this went as smooth as possible. the aircraft kind of took off like a plane, somewhat anticlimactic, resembling the takeoff of a normal airplane. but once they reached 50,000 feet, that's where things literally took off. the ss unity blasted towards space, hitting the 50-mile mark above the new mexico desert made richard branson the first founder of a privately-run space company to reach s
