 We note your response to our prior comment 5. As SCH management based its valuation of the
VG Companies on an analysis of the aggregate potential cash flows to be generated by the “Virgin Galactic” business, as projected by VG management, please revise to disclose these cash flow projections.

The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the term “aggregate potential cash flows,”
as referenced in the disclosure and as it relates to SCH management’s evaluation of the VG Companies, was used to refer to SCH management’s comparison of projected EBITDA to projected capital expenditures, each as provided by VG
Management and as disclosed on page 129 of the Amended Registration Statement. Other than this metric, there were no other material projections of cash flow used in evaluating the VG Companies. In response to the Staff’s comment, the
Company has revised its disclosure on pages 114 and 115.

 We note your disclosure that the initial non-binding letter SCH
sent to Virgin management on January 24, 2019 included an initial enterprise value for the Virgin Galactic business operated by the VG Companies and the Virgin Orbit business of $1.5 billion on a
pre-transaction, debt-free, cash-free basis. After the Virgin Orbit business was excluded, on March 2, 2019, you further disclose that SCH sent to Virgin management the first version of a new non-binding letter of intent, and that this $850 million (with no earn-out opportunity) and a secondary repurchase of up to $150 million valuation fell within the
lower range of valuations that SCH management had considered for the VG Companies alone. Please revise to provide additional details regarding how SCH determined the valuation of the Virgin businesses initially and then the range of valuations for
the VG Companies alone.

 In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on pages
114 and 115.

 Projected Financial Information, page 128

 We note your disclosure regarding the financial projections provided by management of the VG Companies to
SCH. Please disclose, and quantify as appropriate, the material assumptions underlying these projections. For example, we note that the projected financial summary on slide 61 from the investor presentation filed on an Exhibit 99.2 to a Form 8-K, Rule 425 filing, filed on July 9, 2019 includes assumptions as to the numbers of vehicles, total flights and total number of passengers, among other assumptions disclosed that appear to underlie the
revenue projections.

 In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on page

 You disclose that you intend the domestication will qualify as a “reorganization” within the
meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. As such, a tax opinion appears required. If you elect to use a short-form opinion, please note that the opinion and the related tax disclosure in the prospectus both must state clearly that the
disclosure in the tax consequences section of the prospectus is the opinion of counsel and that disclosure must clearly identify and articulate the opinion being rendered. Please refer to Section III of Staff Legal Bulletin 19 (Oct. 14, 2011).

 In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on page 166. The tax opinion
will be filed in a subsequent amendment to the Registration Statement.

human space flight program) for at least the next 24 months. Furthermore, the Company has revised the disclosure to identify the anticipated remaining direct costs for completing the two spaceships currently under construction and to note that the

Virgin Galactic Business Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation, page F-31

 We note that the carve-out historical combined financial
statements of the Virgin Galactic Business do not reflect any attribution of debt or allocation of interest expense. Please tell us your consideration of attributing debt or allocating interest expense to the
carve-out financial statements and the basis for your conclusion of your current treatment.

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that when determining the appropriate basis of
presentation of the carve-out financial statements, the Company considered the guidance in both SAB Topic 1.B.1 and SAB Topic 5.T, among other guidance, which provides that the historical financial statements
should reflect all legal obligations and costs of doing business, including obligations and expenses incurred by the Parent Company on behalf of or for the benefit of the Virgin Galactic Business.

The Company advises the Staff that the Virgin Galactic Business does not have any legal obligation, including any joint or several obligations,
associated with the Parent Company’s debt. Furthermore, the Virgin Galactic Business will not assume nor will the Parent Company transfer any portion of the Parent Company’s debt to the Virgin Galactic

Business. Historically, there were no interest charges incurred, imputed, or allocated to the Virgin Galactic Business from the Parent Company. Accordingly, debt has not been attributed and
interest expense has not been allocated to the Virgin Galactic Business in the carve-out financial statements.

The Company believes it has provided sufficient and meaningful disclosure for its basis of presentation in Note 1 of the combined financial
statements of the Virgin Galactic Business related to cash transfers to and from the Parent Company and its net parent investment balance.
