VIRGIN Galactic Makes Herstory
WE HAVE A DREAM! And this is it...
"SIR RICHARD BRANSON, Founder of VIRGIN Galactic: World's First Spaceline, accepts the bold invitation from ATLANTA: City of Peace to fly his Virgin Galactic Mother Ship (VMS) along with the connected Virgin Space Ship (VSS) 'Unity' into ATL: World's Busiest Airport. They load up some courageous Space Tourists who are also Peacebuilders (perhaps intrepid volunteers like Poppy, Gaby, Mariah, and George Hirthler ). Then they take-off from Dr. King's Airport, they fly into SPACE: The Final Frontier, and upon returning they discover a wonderful accomplishment. Together, with Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic, they have essentially created: The World's First Commercial SpacePort for Peace!"
THAT'S OUR DREAM, and to learn more, please visit:
The DREAM that I just placed into words, above, already happened (in various elements) yesterday (just different Space Tourists, different Spaceport, and our dream of creating the World's First Commercial SpacePort for Peace is still available for honoring Dr. King's birthplace --- ATLANTA: City of Peace?.
DETAILS OF YESTERDAY'S SPACEFLIGHT. Ana & Keisha (an amazing Mother-Daughter Team) blasted off with Jon Goodwin (age 80) who became the first Olympian to ever go into Space: The Final Frontier (therefore, Olympian George Hirthler is now eligible). Regarding Goodwin's Olympic history, 51 years ago, in 1972, he competed as a canoeist in the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XX Olympiad.
SPACEFLIGHT: On 10 August 2023, at 8:30 AM New Mexico local time, the Virgin Galactic Mother Ship (VMS) lifted off from Spaceport America.?This VMS carrier ship holds in its belly the Virgin Space Ship (VSS) 'Unity' which held Virgin Galactic's "FIRST FLIGHT FOR TOURISTS!" Check out this 5-minute video:
Anastatia (Ana) Mayers and Keisha Schahaff, the beautiful Mother-Daughter Space Tourists, joined the former Olympian on this history-making flight!?Check out this beautiful team!
Keisha Schahaff (age 47) was born in Antigua and is a Life Coach that helps women achieve optimum health through proven wellness practices. Her daughter, Ana Mayers (age 18), is a student at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.?Ana made 'HERSTORY' with her Mom, and TOGETHER they became: A) the FIRST Mother-Daughter Duo to become Space Tourists; B) the First Female Astronauts from the Caribbean; C) the Most Women Flown in a Single Mission to Space; and D) the Amazing Adventurers on Virgin Galactic's "FIRST FLIGHT FOR TOURISTS!"? Ana also became the second youngest Astronaut to ever fly into SPACE: The Final Frontier!
The Mother-Daughter Space Tourists won their Launch Seats by entering a sweepstake competition offered by OMAZE, a fundraising company.? Ana was quoted as saying:
“My mom read about the competition back in 2021 while we were on our way to another Caribbean Island to get my visa for studying at the University of Aberdeen... We had to take an insane detour. So instead of a one-hour flight, it was 16 hours through London and then back down into the Caribbean... It was on that flight my mom randomly entered this competition, which I had no clue about until I was here in Scotland. When she told me she had entered, I was very skeptical about it. I thought she was joking.?But the one thing I did make sure was if she was going into space, it was going to be with me.”
Senior citizen Jon Goodwin was quoted as saying: “From becoming an Olympian to canoeing between the peaks of Annapurna to winning a six-day race in the Arctic Circle, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (and cycling back down), I’ve always enjoyed rising to new challenges.?When I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2014, I was determined not to let it stand in the way of living life to the fullest.?And now for me to go to space with Parkinson’s is completely magical.?I hope this inspires all others facing adversity and shows them that challenges don’t have to inhibit or stop them from pursuing their dreams.”
HIGH-POINT OF SPACEFLIGHT: As the Space Tourists flew higher and higher in the Virgin Space Ship (VSS) 'Unity' they checked the altimeter and at its apex, it was reading 300,000 feet high which is equivalent to 56.8181818 miles up!

In closing, if you (or anyone you know) are familiar with how to reach Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic, then please assist us to bring them to ATLANTA: City of Peace (Dr. King's Birthplace) so that we can transform ATL: World's Busiest Airport into the 1ST COMMERCIAL Spaceport for Peace!
