Virgin Galactic succeeded in the third rocket-powered flight of its Unity spacecraft on Thursday, in a test meant to push the vehicle faster and higher than ever before.

Billionaire Richard Branson's space company is one test flight closer to taking up its first passengers. Branson told CNBC after the previous test flight that Virgin Galactic was "only two or three more flights" away from reaching space.
