Is there a non-paywall version of that article?
I'm just curious what the difference is between Virgin Orbit and Virgin Galactic?

Orbit was specifically for small satellite launch off a Boeing 747. Galactic is focused on space tourism. Pay $450k for a ride to space.

So one sent satellites into orbit and the other sent tourists into orbit. Got it. Thanks.

No, tourists didn't go to orbit, they were suborbital only. A few minutes in free fall around the Karman line and then back to Terra firma.
