### Comment:
No it just flies in the upper atmosphere. Also it’s a shit company short the f out of it. Space x is the only one worth anything in the big boys. Rocket lab in the small ones. And firefly if it works out. Blue origin will succeed but it’s like bing vs Google when you compare it to SpaceX

### REPLY:
It's such a capital front-heavy project, but a near-future neato evolution that Virgin could take would be to install a rotating skyhook in LEO. If the VSS's could get high enough, they could link up with a carbon tether at just the right time and be catapulted into a higher orbit. The tether would lose some velocity, but it's already in LEO and can be boosted and later refueled by an existing space infrastructure. SpaceX is probably gonna blow them out of the water, but just an idea
