The Virgin Galactic ship SS2, seen here on a test flight in the Mojave desert, might one day be modified to allow high speed orbital travel from country to country

Virgin Galactic have so far succeeded in getting the craft outside the stratosphere, the second lowest layer of the atmosphere

After detaching from its carrier plane SS2 ignites a powerful rocket which launches it into space

The spaceship is flown into the air while strapped into the carrying craft White Knight before detaching itself to launch into space

The company says the first space tourism flight, taken by Richard Branson and his family, will take place next year
