Making space more accessible than ever before

“Space is not only important for the future of transportation, commerce and science, but also for the future of imagination.”

Virgin Galactic Head of Astronaut Relations Clare Pelly joined the AKQA team and clients in London to discuss Virgin Galactic’s mission to democratize access to space for the benefit of life on Earth. She shared the process that each future astronaut goes through when they sign up to be part of the spaceflight programme, and talked about how the company builds relationships based on trust with those in this community ahead of their journey.
