Hello, friends!
Are you ready to go to space? Get ready!
Because next year onwards, Space Tourism will be possible. Like you go to other counties for a vacation from next year, you can go to space on a vacation. And most importantly, you wouldn't need to undergo any training No need to become an astronaut to make this happen.
How will it be possible? Who will make it possible? And how expensive will it be?
Come, let's find out in today's article.
Actually, friends, three people are making it possible.
First, billionaire Richard Branson. The owner of the Virgin Group. His space tourism company is named Virgin Galactic.
Second, Jeff Bezos. The owner of Amazon. His space tourism company is named Blue Origin.
And third, Elon Musk. The owner of Tesla. His space company is named SpaceX.
There was a neck-to-neck competition between the first two people to see who would be the first man in the world to go to space in their own rocket.
Jeff Bezos had announced that he would do this on 20th July. After that, Richard Branson, who had originally planned to attempt this a few months later, preponed his plan.
Richard Branson attempted this a few days ago, on 11th July. With two pilots and three other crew members, he got into his Unity Spacecraft. This Spacecraft flew into the sky. And this mission was successful.
Leaving Jeff Bezos behind, he became the world's first man to go to space in his own spaceship. It's very interesting to get to know the technical details of this feat. Because he wasn't in a rocket that's launched from a launchpad. Like you normally see in films or like astronauts usually travel, in a rocket.
Instead, it was a kind of an airplane. You can call this airplane a 'Space Plane' because it went into space.
