British billionaire Richard Branson has completed his journey to space.
The 71-year-old Branson went into space on the Virgin Galactic, 53 miles above the Mew Mexico desert and achieved weightlessness for three to four minutes.
Per the Hollywood Reporter, Branson said to his crew upon landing back on Earth, "Seventeen years of hard work to get us this far."
Branson was originally scheduled to go into space later this summer, but decided to push his venture up a bit after Jeff Bezos announced he was heading into space July 20th.
