Watch Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson speak with CNBC following successful spaceflight

CNBC's Morgan Brennan speaks with Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson following the billionaire's successful flight to the edge of space. "I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid, and honestly nothing could prepare you for the view of Earth from space," Branson said after landing. The company's spacecraft VSS Unity launched above the skies of New Mexico on Sunday, with two pilots guiding the vehicle carrying the billionaire founder and three Virgin Galactic employees. Branson is the first of the billionaire space company founders to ride his own spacecraft.

CNBC reporter smiling in his face now, but come Monday morning, CNBC will be bad mouthing and talking down on the stock. Watch how they really work. Remember where you heard it first. OG Reggie B.

This man knows what’s important to him in life. Seeing the Euro finals playing on the big screen says a lot about how he likes to live. Definitely doesn’t give the A-hole vibe like Musk and Bezos.
