Astronaut-in-training Michael Blum used his stage at ISPCS 2008 yesterday to announce that Virgin Galactic's WhiteKnightTwo-SpaceShipTwo will "take to the skies" for its first test flight in the next two to three weeks.Blum, Founder & Managing Director of Repulse Bay Capital Ltd., & Co-President & CCO of Research Edge, is excited about leveraging space for personal and commercial purposes.
Blum discussed divulging the timetable with Virgin leader Richard Branson last week at a gathering with other future passengers on the craft.
"ISPCS was the perfect place to talk about this because ISPCS is a very valuable conference that helps to identify the opportunities in the new space age," Blum said.
