Your original reply was to this, and I'm commenting in this context:

Whatever plans they may have for international flights, they seem unrelated to the craft we saw today - the proposed design in the article you linked is for a new "conventional" supersonic plane, not going to orbit and back à la Starship with SpaceShipTwo.

Also, I thought Virgin Galactic was founded specifically with space tourism in mind, not transportation?
