0:53Now PlayingA team of Italian researchers has reached the edge of space, flying aboard Virgin Galactic’s rocket-powered plane.
They launched Thursday morning from Spaceport America in the New Mexico desert, reaching a height of 279,000 feet.
Now, Virgin Galactic will be flying the first of hundreds of ticket holders, many who have been waiting years for their chance to experience a few minutes of weightlessness.
