YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis Thanksgiving week, we honor an extraordinary American story, one fueled by grit, gratitude, and the pioneer spirit that built this nation.
Meet Ken “Rocket Man” Baxter, the Las Vegas real estate investor who waited 21 years to fulfill a dream most people never dare to chase: traveling to the edge of space. In 2004, Baxter purchased the very first civilian ticket from Sir Richard Branson, becoming one of Virgin Galactic’s original space pioneers.
Two decades later, Ken finally strapped into the rocket, carrying with him the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and even a Trump flag, lifting America’s founding spirit nearly 60 miles above the Earth.
