Richard Branson Of Virgin Galactic Successfully Launches First Outer Space Tourists, But Is Anyone Paying Attention To Psalm 115:16?
Virgin Galactic’s first commercial space flight took off from New Mexico today and successfully carried three passengers to the edge of space.
It looks like the age of commercial space travel has finally arrived, Richard Branson of Virgin Galactic just took up his first civilian passengers to the edge of Outer Space. While they were all enjoying superb views of our very round Earth, I could not help but be reminded of the part in my King James Bible where it shows me that man is not meant for space travel, nor was he given dominion in that arena. The fact that he has applied Genesis 11:6 to figure it out is besides the point, or just maybe, it’s the entire point.
“The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.” Psalm 115:16 (KJB)
On our weekly NTEB Radio Bible Studies, we have been taking a multi-part look at things associated with the Mark of the Beast, and last night we spent some time on his image. The whole world is preparing itself, right now, to receive Antichrist, and I can guarantee you there will be an Outer Space connection when he arrives. This is why we are seeing such a huge uptick in UFO sightings and reports of alien visitors. Unsaved man is determined to ‘see what’s up there’, and one day very soon, God is going to show him. Aren’t you glad all that will be after the Rapture?
Sorry, Richard Branson, you’ve built a nice plane and all, but we’re waiting for Flight #777.

Virgin Galactic’s first space tourists – a mother and daughter and Olympian – blast off from New Mexico for historic flight
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Antiguan mother and daughter duo Keisha Schahaff, 46 and Anastatia Mayers, 18 and retired British Olympian Jon Goodwin, 80, made history for the Richard Branson-founded company, becoming its first commercial crew who were not trained astronauts or researchers to orbit.
The crew of the VSS Unity gave the thumbs up after the carrier plane released the ship, which continued its ascent to over 50 miles above Earth. The team then huddled around the ship’s windows and took in the views of our planet before making its re-entry into the atmosphere.
‘It is a childhood dream come true,’ Schahaff told reporters. ‘I’ve been to space and back with my daughter. And if anyone is wondering, the Earth is round.’
But Goodwin, from Newcastle, secured his seat as the company’s first paying customer 18 years ago. Goodwin’s son David told DailyMail.com that his father’s spaceflight has been a long time coming. And when asked how his father is the first Olympian and second oldest and individual with Parkinson’s, David said: ‘My father likes to tick a lot of boxes.’
Goodwin is a retired slalom canoeist, has been a regular and leading competitor in the Ferrari Hillclimb Championship since 1992, winning in 2000 and 2008, and has more Class wins than any other competitor – as of the end of the 2020 season. Goodwin is married to Pauline, who also competed in the Olympic games in 1972 and 1976. She was in New Mexico cheering her husband, son David, grandson Sebastian and daughter-in-law Lily.
Goodwin’s wife, Pauline, told the BBC at the launch site that she felt emotional and proud of her husband of 50 years. The former Olympian also spent his life as a daredevil, winning races in the Arctic Circle and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
The mission, dubbed ‘Galatic 02,’ is Virgin Galactic’s seventh trip to space since 2018, but the first with a ticket-holder. Branson hopped on board for the first full-size crew ride in 2021. Italian military and government researchers soared in June on the first commercial flight. \According to the company, about 800 people are currently on Virgin Galactic´s waiting list. READ MORE
