“#Richard Branson Shares His ‘Extraordinary’ Space Flight Experience with Stephen Colbert<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nRichard Branson became the first person to blast off in his own spaceship, beating fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos (whose own self-funded trip<\/a> to space is slated for July 20) by nine days. He stopped by The Late Show<\/em><\/strong> last night to share his experience with Colbert. The nearly 71-year-old Branson along with five crewmates from his Virgin Galactic space tourism company reached an altitude of about 53 miles (88 kilometers) over the New Mexico desert, enough to experience three to four minutes of weightlessness and see the curvature of the Earth, and then safely glided back home to a runway landing.<\/p>\n

Stephen Colbert<\/em><\/strong> greeted a shoeless Branson, “Welcome back to the cool green hills of Earth.” He later asked, “At any point did you think this was not a good idea…?” as they watched the footage from the flight. Branson admitted that he did have misgivings of whether his body was going to cope, but once he realized that it would, “it was a dream come true.” Branson was nervous at first, though ultimately said of his exploration: “It was extraordinary.”

\nRichard Branson<\/em><\/strong> had some words of advice for Jeff Bezos, whom he beat by nine days by blasting off on Sunday. “Sit back, relax, look out of the window. Absorb the view outside. Really take it in, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, enjoy it.”<\/p>\n
