June 25, 2021. With 16 days to go before Richard Branson flies into space, the entrepreneur reflects on his early years and the influence of his iconoclasic mother. As a dyslexic teenager, Branson left school to create a magazine called Student, which led to a mail-order record business and, eventually, Virgin Records and Virgin megastores.
Despite a rocky start, Virgin Atlantic prevails in a libel suit against rival British Airways. Chasing even greater ambitions, Branson announces plans to develop a spaceflight company, Virgin Galactic, kicking off what would become a decade-long pursuit.
