Branson Rocketed To Space
Richard Branson successfully rocketed to more than 50 miles above earth in the space plane from his rocket venture Virgin Galactic.
He founded Virgin Galactic in 2004 with the goal to create a winged spacecraft capable of taking eight people to reach more than 50 miles above earth. Sunday morning Branson’s flight took off from Spaceport America in New Mexico.
A spokesman for Branson said his job was to use his observation skills from his flight training and space flight experience to enhance the journey for all future astronaut customers.
Mr. Branson’s flight will give hope for many private citizens and not just for the professional astronauts.
Another American billionaire, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, also plans to make a similar space journey in the next nine days.
We are so grateful that these people risk their lives and fortunes to test the way to space.
The coronavirus pandemic has really hit hard for the whole nation. Many problems around the globe have brought so many tragedies. We are so glad that all of us have another hope to bring the world a brighter future.
