With many schools worldwide closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Virgin Galactic is continuing to provide support for parents homeschooling their kids with their Science With Virgin Galactic series.

Each week they’re hosting a Spacechat live on YouTube with experts from around the company. This week, they’ll be explaining how to get a spaceship ready for commercial service.

The chat will be live streamed today (April 23rd) at 5.30pm BST (12.30pm ET/9.30am PST) so make sure you’ve got an alarm set.
