We are excited to announce the release of G.E.M. 鄧紫棋’s documentary called G-Force scheduled in theatres across mainland China as of Friday 6th January 2017.
G.E.M. (Get Everybody Moving) is a Chinese-Hongkonger singer-songwriter that following her debuts in 2008 with the self-titled EP GEM rapidly became one of China’s most iconic pop stars.
What we highly appreciate about this documentary is the fact that G.E.M. wants to inspire everyone to chase whatever sky of their own seems out of reach because the sky isn’t really the limit.
Please find a teaser to the documentary below.

Throughout 2016 we had the honor and privilege to work with quite some of our future sub-orbital fliers to create fascinating XCOR Astronaut profiles.

These profiles allowed us to gain better insight on our Astronauts’ vision on life and their dreams while also finding strong correlations between them despite their different backgrounds.

With such information we decided to create a new XCOR Astronaut Infographic which reflects the most important information on our prestigious Astronaut group while also recollecting some of the most remarkable quotes and similar ways of thinking they shared with us.

We would like to take the time to thank all those that made this brilliant graph possible and we look forward to present you to new members of our prestigious community in the upcoming months.

We mourn a true symbol of the space age and national hero, John Glenn, who passed away yesterday at the age of 95. As the very first American to orbit Earth he is a true inspiration to all of us!

Mr. Glenn was a symbol of the space age as the first American to orbit Earth, then became a national political figure representing Ohio in the Senate.

XCOR’s goal to reach higher grounds wouldn’t be possible without the support of many. Particularly, thanks to all those individuals that bet on us at an early stage such as our future sub-orbital flyers have done thus far. As a token of our utmost appreciation and to acclaim each one of them XCOR is creating their own Astronaut Profiles. In this Astronaut Profile release you’ll get to know LJ (Lodewijk-Jan) ‘Artstronaut’ Doensen. Lodewijk-Jan Doensen is, amongst others, a medical doctor, an entrepreneur, an explorer and a dreamer. No wonder that this ambassador of life likes to “embrace life wherever it is”. Have a look at his profile below:

In early October this year XCOR’s Pioneer Mr. Cyril Bennis, accompanied by Colonel Al Worden (one of three crew Astronauts on board the Apollo 15 lunar mission in 1971) toured around Ireland to inspire kids to follow their dreams and always seek to reach higher grounds. After all, “sky is no longer the limit”! Throughout their outreach they also visited St Aidan’s N.S. school in Shannon, Ireland from where the below ‘spatial’ picture of Al Worden holding the Lynx spacecraft scale model was taken.
