Abstract

The article focuses on Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc.'s resumption of limited sales for its commercial space flights, marking progress toward restarting space tourism after a two-year pause. The company, founded by Richard Branson, has released tickets priced at $750,000 each, an increase from previous prices, while preparing to debut its upgraded Delta spaceplane by the end of 2026. Virgin Galactic reported fourth-quarter 2025 financial results below analyst expectations, with revenue of approximately $312,000 and a loss of 98 cents per share. The company anticipates its second SpaceShip will enter service between late 2026 and early 2027, aiming to increase flight operations, and it held $144.7 million in cash with expected first-quarter 2026 expenses around $90 million.
