Richard Branson goes to heaven to escape the sky

After 17 years of late and frustrating, and after spending more than $ 1bn of his fortune, Sir Richard Branson on Sunday appeared just before fulfilling his dream of becoming a moon traveler.

The founding maiden, 70, and five other crew members left the New Mexico desert on the VSS Unity spacecraft at 8.40 am, parked under a special cargo plane. The plane was hit back 90 minutes after a midnight storm blew dust from the barren ground, delaying the release of the merchant from its hangar in Spaceport America.

The architecture is to be carried to a distance of 50,000ft, where it is released and burns its rocket engine, and automatically steals the speed of the voice to reach the end of the space.

The flight comes nine days before Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is due to board a rocket built by his private company, The Origin of Blue.

The billions of billions of survivors beat the competition to ensure that their rocket-based companies are finally safe from commercial activities, opening up smaller facilities such as tourist destinations.

Branson was scheduled to take part in the Virgin Galactic pilot flight, but Sunday’s flight was announced in a hurry two weeks ago when it appeared to be hit by Bezos.

A symbol of the battle for tourism in the future, Blue Origin poured cold water on Branson’s work even before he went to heaven on Sunday. He also said that the Virgin Galactic space plane does not reach the Karman line – up to 100km above the Earth’s surface, which is known as the outer boundary.

Criticism forced Branson to defend himself within a few days of his flight. He added that the US sees the area starting at a distance of 80km and said his company’s riders could use zero gravity against Blue Origin’s.

Over the weekend, the Bezos camp also described VSS Unity as “the longest flight” and also highlighted the lack of security, including the lack of an emergency escape route and that it had climbed just over 80km three times in the past.

But in New Mexico, the moment was Branson’s. Hundreds of journalists, company workers and guests gathered in the dark before the event to witness its launch, showcasing her talent as a showcase for a professional who has been using her passion for making a Virgin name for herself. Elon Musk, another space businessman, visited Branson on Sunday morning to wish him well and see the launch.

The Virgin Galactic moved to Spaceport two years ago but by Sunday had only had one trial since then. It was delayed for many years by the 2014 crash when one of its ships was wrecked, killing the pilot. The first crash involving a rocket launching off the ground killed three crew members assigned to build the Virgin Galactic spacecraft.

Sunday’s trip – and Branson’s part in it – is part of the test that Virgin Galactic has to go through before it is fully open to sell. The Virgin Founder says it wants to help assess whether the company has met its “home and customer” goals.

Two more pilot planes have been prepared before the start of the commercial operation.
