The Spaceship Two vehicle by Virgin Galactic was unveiled on YouTube earlier this week, giving consumers a look inside the highly anticipated spacecraft
Travel enthusiasts and aspiring astronauts have a new aircraft to add to their bucket list––Virgin Galactic has revealed the cabin interior of its highly anticipated SpaceshipTwo vehicle live on YouTube yesterday.
“In just my second week as Virgin Galactic’s CEO, it is with great pride that I can lead our talented teams in revealing this latest milestone in our journey to space,” Michael Colglazier, CEO of Virgin Galactic said in a press release. “The spaceship cabin interior is in many ways the design centrepiece of the astronaut journey and what has been created will both facilitate and elevate a uniquely profound and transformational journey for the thousands who will fly.”
The spacecraft itself was built in collaboration with London design agency, Seymourpowell, to include a sense of safety without distraction, so travellers can focus on “absorbing periods of sensory intensity” while offering each traveller a level of intimacy required to fully absorb the unforgettable experience.
In terms of aesthetics, the colour palette of the cabin was curated to complement the architecture of the seats, the spacecraft itself, and the Under Armour-made astronaut spacesuits, with the golden metallics made to resemble desert sands and blues inspired by the celestial spaces and oceans below.
