The Euro 2020 event has ended with Italy as champions. In fact, British supporters have expressed their support for the Three Lions team into space.
The launch of Virgin Galactic in bringing the first manned mission to the suborbital took place on Sunday (11/7), which coincided with the schedule for the England vs Italy final to be held at Wembley, London, England.
The flight, performed using VSS Unity aircraft, took off from Spaceport America in New Mexico, USA.
The Unity 22 crew consisted of four passengers, namely Virgin Galactic Founder Richard Branson, Chief Astronaut Instructor Beth Moses, Principal Operations Engineer Colin Bennett, and Sirisha Bandla’s Vice President of Government Affairs and Research Operations. Then two named pilots, Dave Mackay and Michael Masucci.
Fly with the help of SpaceShipTwo, the VSS Unity is then released and glides to suborbital heights. All four crew members, including Branson, were thrilled to experience zero gravity.
In between enjoying it, Bennett showed his support for England by showing the words “It’s Coming Home”.

As is well known, the jargon “Football it home” continued to resonate as England advanced to the final against Italy. The jargon has the meaning that England is the origin of football.
Unfortunately, after a 1-1 draw for 120 minutes. England had to hand over the Euro 2020 trophy to Italy after being knocked out on penalties by a score of 2-3.
In the end, the Unity 22 crew managed to return to Earth. However, the trophy between the countries of the Blue Continent actually returned to Rome.
