Virgin describes the first human passenger test as a historic moment. One of the passengers, Virgin employee Sara Luchian, said the trip went well and was “nothing like a roller coaster”, according to the British public broadcaster BBC. She called the test ride “exciting” and said that she and her fellow passenger did not feel ill afterwards.
