It is a love story that transcends gravity. The profitable test flight of Virgin Galactic’s VSS Unity SpaceShipTwo to suborbital area on Thursday was adopted up by a heart-warming, on-the-ground proposal.
Flight check engineer Brandon Parrish requested his girlfriend Veronica McGowan, a structural engineer, to marry him. He used an engagement ring that had simply flown on the VSS Unity, which suggests the ring earned some honorary astronaut wings for its journey.
Each Parrish and McGowan work for The Spaceship Company, the Virgin Galactic sister firm that manufactured SpaceShipTwo.
Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson shared the candy second on social media, saying, ‘What higher solution to suggest than with a hoop that had simply flown to area?’

Parrish dropped this poetic line throughout the proposal: ‘You might be extra stunning inside and outside than a complete universe filled with stars.’ Branson handed the space-flown ring to Parrish. In fact, McGowan mentioned ‘Sure.’
VSS Unity achieved a serious step ahead for the younger industrial area tourism business when its two pilots topped the 50-mile (80-kilometer) above Earth mark throughout its flight.
Maybe Parrish and McGowan ought to take into account an off-this-world honeymoon vacation spot when Virgin Galactic lastly strikes forward with ferrying passengers to suborbital area.
