Virgin Galactic schedules final VSS Unity flight test for May 25th.

Virgin Galactic plans to conduct its final VSS Unity test flight on May 25th to check technical functionality and the "astronaut experience" before commercial service begins. The company has delayed the rollout multiple times and is still bleeding money. A successful test could help Virgin stem losses and fund its long-term ambitions, which include next-gen Delta vehicles due to enter service in 2026. The company faces competition from Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and SpaceX in the space tourism market.
