Virgin Galactic has recently launched a spacecraft which has travelled over 80 km high on Thursday and reached Federal Aviation Administration which is defined by space for capturing a large and elusive goal for the sake of the company that Richard Branson has founded that aims to fly the tourists to the outer atmosphere.
Given that the spacecraft didn’t reach the orbit, the flight was launched for the first time from the soil of the United States. The spacecraft was carrying humans and reached the edge of the space even since it retired back in 2011.
This new venture has effectively opened up a very new era in human spaceflight. There are a lot of companies which are working to hold on to the monopoly on space and hold on to governments’ end for pushing the space travel venture farther.
Even if it has just scratched just the lowest of the edge of what people mostly believe as the begin of a new era, the launch simply indicated the more significant implications meant for the growth of a new segment of industry which aims at flying civilians on regular intervals.
This flight was risky, and at the same time, it was a perilous and at the same time a bold thing which followed a fatal crash which happened around 4 years ago.
Space travels came during the years when NASA is forced on relying on the Russian Space Center for flying the astronauts to the orbit. NASA also faces criticism about its aversion of risking that has replaced the audacity of the youth and helped in putting men on the moon.
There are around 700 people who have reportedly paid around US$250,000 for the joy rides to the sub-orbit of Earth. Over 560 people have reportedly been to space so far. The goal of the Virgin merely is about the evolution that will come gradually.
