On Sunday, Virgin Galactic founder Sir Richard Branson will be the first of three billion to go to space if the launch of New Mexico is successful. British millionaire Richard Branson flew more than 50 miles in the New Mexico desert on Sunday boarding his rocket Virgin Galactic and returned safely to the first spacecraft test, marking a symbolic milestone that began 17 years ago. . British billionaire Richard Branson, six ready-to-go employees of Virgin Galactic Holding Inc have hailed the campaign as a precursor to a new era of space travel, when Virgin Galactic is ready to sell next year. The success of the flight also gave British billionaire Richard Branson the privilege of boasting in a controversial debate with another millionaire Jeff Bezos, an Amazon retailer who had hoped to fly in space with billionaire Jeff Bezos of his space company.

Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson embarked on an exciting journey into space, space, finally sending their independent rivals to the commercial space after nearly two decades of promises. After decades of delayed promises, the space tourism industry has taken a firm stand, starting with short-lived private airlines. The private spacecraft network has seen the spacecraft launch into the billionaire in 2021. A short flight to private space has led to the development of billions of space travel by 2021.

This year, three different businesses sent the richest passengers into space. A third space company, SpaceX Musks, plans to launch its first public service team (except British billionaire Richard Branson) to launch space in September, and has already done it for NASA at the International Space Station. Billionaire Elon Musk has not yet brought guests to the International Space Station, but this year his Inspiration4 sent a team of people to Earth orbit on a three-day mission. Last year, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft re-launched and returned the astronauts to the International Space Station, winning a multi-billion dollar space flight with a history of space travel.

SpaceX has begun expanding with its first complete project with Inspiration4 and plans to launch the Axiom private space series at the International Space Station. Jared Isaacman, a millionaire who flew in the Earth's crust with the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule last year, plans to fly with SpaceX again. Today, Jared Isaacman announced that he has purchased the next three aircraft with SpaceX, a series of machines called "Polaris" that will take him to space in the air of the company. Jared Isaacman says the first Crew Dragon flight "will be in space above humans since we last flew on the moon," he told Today Show.

Canadian astronomer Joshua Kubrick believes that private space companies have an important role to play in space in the future. Crew Dragon Aircraft will serve as the first human space exploration machine with SpaceX as it explores new capabilities. The SpaceX Inspiration4 campaign, sponsored by billionaire payment platform CEO Jared Isaacman, sent Isaacman and three others, none of whom were expert astronomers, to a three-day tour of the International Space Station. man has been gone for centuries. Andrey Ionin of the Russian Academy of Cosmonautics says you can't compare the first flight to a one-day flight to the International Space Station.

Tickets are not cheap: Someone bought a seat on the first suborbital plane of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos for $ 28 million at auction. Nine days later, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos plans to launch Blue Origin in space from Texas, while Tesla founder Elon Musk will launch SpaceX later this year. Then last year, SpaceX millionaire Elon Musk jumped out of his first successful International Space Station mission, and NASA fired Roscosmos, Russia's space agency. Analysts say Roscosmos has no choice but to turn to tourism to close the gap.

After all, space travel is the future, "said Dmitry Loskutov, head of Glavkosmos, Russia's center for trade projects, including tourism. Russia this month sent two astronauts, Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa. for the first time in Russia in 12 years from the International Space Station (ISS).

Carid started with Richard Branson, who took a 90-minute flight on July 11 aboard the Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo his space shuttle. Whether a 90-minute flight is as important as a spacecraft is still debated: the US government defines the area as starting 50 miles (or just over 50 miles) upwards, which was Branson's elevation, but the definition of a globally accepted location, the Karman line. , 60 miles [100 km] above the earth. However, whether the plane is counted as space travel remains controversial: the US government defines the area as 50 miles (or slightly more than 80 miles), which was the length of Richard Branson's plane, but the international definition of space travel. Karman line. , 60 miles [100 km] above the earth.
