After an inspiring inauguration showcasing the power of unity, including @TheAmandaGorman's stunning poem, it's great to see @POTUS immediately putting words into action, rejoining the Paris climate accord & tackling COVID-19. A new day in America, indeed
Wise words from @PaulPolman @thebteamhq on the actions business leaders can take to protect and uphold democracy
Wishing the very best of luck to President Biden, Vice President Harris, their families and their teams as they strive for pathways to positive change in the White House
“The blue skies went to black!” Watch the stunning story of @Virgin_Orbit’s picture perfect journey into orbit
So touched that the @Virgin_Orbit team honoured my mum by writing For Eve onto the nose cone of the rocket – yet another great adventure for mum! I want to again thank everyone who has shared such touching tributes to her
.@Virgin_Orbit started as an idea with a sticker on the floor in a hangar - now we're launching rockets off the wing of our modified 747 and flying them into orbit to drop off satellites
This is the incredible moment @Virgin_Orbit flew into orbit. What a beautiful sight to behold: the Virgin LauncherOne rocket taking off from the wing of our 747 airplane and soaring into orbit at 17,500mph to drop off satellites
Replying to @Virgin_Orbit: From our founder @RichardBranson.

Today's sequence of events for #LaunchDemo2 went exactly to plan, from safe execution of our ground ops all the way through successful full duration burns on both engines. To say we're thrilled would be a massive understatement, but 240 characters couldn't do it justice anyway.

Payloads successfully deployed into our target orbit! We are so, so proud to say that LauncherOne has now completed its first mission to space, carrying 9 CubeSat missions into Low Earth Orbit for our friends @NASA. #LaunchDemo2

Hearing that we've now crossed 50 miles for the first time and are still on track. Just... wow! WELCOME TO SPACE, LAUNCHERONE!
Quoted @HollyBranson
I love the sound of Granny Eve's laughter in this old film. As she said herself: “Life to me is very precious, with every hour and every minute to be cherished and never wasted!”
I've shared some of Granny's wonderful lessons on my blog: @EveBranson
Moving words from @HollyBranson remembering my mum and the joy she brought to all our lives:

Before the UK lockdown, I was delighted to surprise a classroom full of students in Devon who had been learning all about entrepreneurship in their business class @MadeByDyslexia @BCPschool
My son Sam has shared this beautiful song, “Colours Fade”, which he wrote in my mum’s living room after the last time he saw her - anyone who has lost somebody recently may find comfort in this song
.@VirginUnite President @JeanOelwang on why now is the moment to come together and act to address and change the root causes of racial inequity, division, and suffering:
Thank you for all your messages about my mum. She was a force of nature who lived many remarkable lives and will live on in the hearts of all she loved. Sending love to all of you who have lost a loved one recently
I’m sorry to share that, sadly like a lot of people’s mums and dads right now in these days of Covid, my mum Eve has also passed away. Rather than mourn her loss, I wanted to celebrate her wonderful life & the joy she brought to so many
