Richard Branson vows to be on board first Virgin Galactic space flight

Richard Branson has insisted that he will be boarding the first Virgin Galactic space flight.

The 63-year-old businessman, who has reiterated his plan to fly with his children on the inaugural flight, said that everybody who signs up knows this is the birth of a new space programme and understands the risks that go with that, the Guardian reported.

Branson added that despite of all the risks involved, every person wants to go on the first flight.
