From Cyberspace to Outer Space - introNetworks Creates First Social Network to Connect Growing Base of Future Astronauts for Virgin Galactic

"Since our inception five years ago, we've created smart social networks for companies of varying sizes and personalities, but always within the confines of our planet," said Mark Sylvester, CEO of introNetworks. "By working with the visionaries at Virgin Galactic we have the opportunity to use our technology and creativity to help connect individuals who share a passion to boldly go where only a handful of individuals have gone before."

The introNetworks deployment for Virgin Galactic will bring the future astronauts together to engage with each other, identify commonalities in careers, interests, activities and their life pursuits, through media, forums and direct communications. It will be available to paying customers of the spaceline beginning in late July.

"As a company that has always looked beyond what's attainable today, we look for partners that share our vision and introNetworks definitely fits that mold," said David Clark, Astronaut Relations, Virgin Galactic. "We're looking forward to working with introNetworks to provide our future astronauts with a private and secure network around which they can build a very special community."

Users of the Virgin Galactic introNetworks system will need just five minutes to set up their profile and input information as well as travel photos, a video they can create on the site, and more about themselves that they want to share with the community. Then, within seconds, the introNetworks visual matching engine will create a compelling graphical view of the community, pinpointing where others who have created profiles are in relation to themselves. By clicking on an individual's "pin", the future astronauts can explore, discover and learn all about that person and then connect via a private, internal email system.
