Branson, VG crew complete suborbital space flight Tribune Content Agency In 2004, British billionaire Richard Branson proclaimed he would fly into space on his company’s spaceship in just three years to kick off what he hoped would become a routine travel experience, drinks and all. Nearly 17 years after that proclamation, he finally did it. Branson, along with five other Virgin Galactic employees – two pilots and three others who were testing parts of the in-cabin experience, including research opportunities – launched to suborbital space Sunday on the compa-
ny’s first flight with a full crew aboard. The carrier aircraft with the spaceship attached to its belly took off around 7:40 a.m. Pacific time from a New Mexico spaceport near the city of Truth or Consequences. The crewed flight marks a shift years in the making, as companies edge into launching recreational trips to space – efforts they hope will eventually prove profitable. The flashy, Branson-flavored Virgin Galactic event – with a livestream hosted by late-night host Stephen Colbert and a concert by singer Khalid – aimed to See Space, Page A7

FLORIDA CONDO COLLAPSE
Death toll rises to 90 in Surfside Tribune Content Agency SURFSIDE, Fla. — Search crews have discovered an additional four victims of the Surfside condominium collapse, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced Sunday, bringing the confirmed death toll from the June 24 catastrophe to 90 with a remaining list of 31 people feared lost under the rubble. Police also released the identities of 10 victims found during the week, including three children ages 5, 6 and 9. The newly discovered victims announced Sunday were not identified at the daily media briefing that marked the
18th day of the search effort and the fourth since the county-led operation shifted from rescue mode to recovery. Levine Cava announced July 7 that there was no hope of finding anyone alive in the debris from the 12-story oceanfront condominium tower, a decision that shifted the debris site from a rescue operation run by the county fire department to a death investigation overseen by Miami-Dade Police. “Our team continues to make incredible process de-layering the pile,” Levine Cava said in the media briefing tent set up south of See Toll, Page A7

VACAVILLE — RC Week took on a different meaning at Camp Adobe this week. While the thought was to share remote control vehicles, the campers also got to interact with a real police canine, Grizz, a 7-year-old German shepherd/Labrador mix. Grizz was under the command of Solano County sheriff’s Deputy Mark Demarest. The dog playfully interacted with campers, who tossed many a tennissize ball for Grizz to chase, pick up and return. One of the campers wanted to know
