This is Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson, better known as Richard Branson. The founder of Virgin Groups with over 400 companies worldwide. He is the face of the 21st C business. He has done so much for himself, his family, his country and his generation. I just saw him give a press briefing now and his boundless nature stood out.
Richard Branson is always happy to make it to the firsts despite all odds. He is a true reflection of optimism but today as he commemorated with the Virgin Galactic crash victims, i heard him use the words IF for the first time. Sir Richard always says WHEN but today he said if they get pass this. He told us he had got $250,00 dollars each from about 700 people who were ready to go with this dream. Branson's Spaceship2 was trying to go into space for the 55th time since inception when it crashed two minutes after it separated from its mother ship the whiteKnight2. While a pilot succeeded in escaping with his parachute, the other didn't and died.
Crashed spaceship two
Originally billed to be on this spaceship with his family, Branson didnt make it this time but was looking forward to it alongside his other celebrity list of passengers. At the site today, he commended his engineers and said Virgin Galactic will move forward. He emphasized that safety was their watchward and promised touphold the values of the Virgin Group. He went on to say
"We do understand the risks involved and we are not going to push on blindly – to do so would be an insult to all those affected by this tragedy.We are going to learn from what went wrong, discover how we can improve safety and performance, and then move forwards together".
Sir Richard Branson as the founder of VIRGIN GROUPS started from Virgin records, which later became virgin megastores then V2 Virgin, Virgin mobile, Virgin drinks, Virgin atlantic airways, Virgin Direct express financial service, virgin cosmetics, Virgin trains, brides, virgin Digital, Virgin media, Virgin health bank, virgin racing, virgin produced, soooooo many too many to mention. He sold some along the way and acquired others. But the virgin company has continued to evolve from one stage to the other. The virgin group had touched every bit of the transport industry, and announced in September 2004 the signing of a partnership deal for a spaceship.
Branson piloted his amphibious car across the English channel to France in June 2004. It was a year later he focused on the spaceship.
Richard Branson has remained a forward thinker in all his businesses and has never being known to back out on any endeavor and that has stood him out. The world has watched him on different platforms. November 1st 2014 at the crash site was one such platform but the boundless nature of Sir Charles Nicholas Richard Branson lives on!
We eagerly watch to see you fly again so that we can soar from there as well sir! To us at the boundless crew, you remain our boundless virgin!
One love!
