One of my fondest memories from my time with Virgin was showing Paula Abdul around Mojave. If you’d told me in 1988 that one day I would meet Paula and give her a tour of a spaceport, there is absolutely no way you could have gotten me to believe that!.
STILL not over the fact that a literal rocket 🚀 was named after Straight Up. Truly one of the most surreal, once-in-a-lifetime moments of my career. Thank you again to @richardbranson and the entire Virgin Orbit team for this incredible honor ♥️
