Virgin galactic spaceflight

How will it be if we get that space experience in reality that we get while Playing space games or spaceship games ?

May be soon it will become possible to get the experience of our outer space without being an astronaut. Yes an organization named  Virgin Galactic  is working in this direction to provide a tourism medium to the space lovers.

This company is always known for working on gigantic projects related to space .Spaceflight is an petition of astronautics to fly spacecraft into or through outer space beyond earth's atmosphere, either containing or without containing humans on it. Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Union was first human to perform a spaceflight. Other examples of human made spaceflights lists the U.S. Apollo Moon landing and Space Shuttle programs and the Russian Soyuz program, as well as the running  International Space Station. Examples of spaceflight without human lists space probes that leave Earth orbit, as well as satellites in orbit around Earth, such as satellites used for communication. Space probes are operated either by telerobotic control or are fully autonomous.

The British billionaire, Richard Branson, rides for about 80kms over New Mexico desert on his new Virgin Galactic rocket plane. He returned safely landed nicely on earth in vehicle’s first fully crewed test flight to space.

Branson the founder of organization has said that Virgin Galactic was "lin the best point in the world to make availability of rocket-powered, at 3,000 mph (4,800 km/h) speed of air travel from one position to another. Branson is one of six Virgin Galactic Holding Inc employees who buckles for this amazing  space ride.

The Virgin Galactic Space Flight is a remarkable achievement for  Richard Branson ,HR has proclaimed this mission as forefather to new generation of space tourism, which was founded by company in the year 2004.

This set in motion of VSS Unity passenger rocket plane blemishes the 22nd company’s test flight of its own SpaceShipTwo system. It was also the 4th crewed mission far away from the Earth’s atmosphere.Reports says its mercantile processes would start in year 2022 .

Virgin Galactic

Virgin Galactic is  British-American spaceflight organization, operates in United States. Its  founder was Richard Branson. His Virgin Group holds a 24% stake in it. It is developing commercial spacecraft thats aims  is to experience suborbital space flights to space interested tourists. Virgin Galactic’s suborbital spacecraft are launched in air from a carrier airplane named White Knight 2. Virgin Galactic also worked on satellite launching system in year 2017.

The flight reports 

Space flight reached its high-altitude launch point at about 80 kilometers, where Unity was released from its carrier ship and fell away when crew starts vehicle’s rocket for ignition. Spaceplane’s contrail was visible from ground when it goes through upper atmosphere. At the peak of climb, rocket shut down and crew members experienced microgravity for some time before spaceplane comes into re-entry mode.  Virgin galactic has planned at least to check two more test flights of spaceplane before starting its regular commercial processes in 2022. Ticket for spaceplane has been priced at around $250,000 per ticket it's nearly about 1,86,46,337.50 rupees. Reports says that Elon Musk has already booked his seat on Virgin Galactic spaceflight.

Dated on 11th July 2021 company's founder Richard Branson with 3 other employees rode on its flight as passengers, stating the first time in history any spaceflight company's founder has rode on his own ship into outer space (according to the NASA the world of outer space starts after 50 miles above the Earth's surface). Virgin Galactic currently aims to begin the outer space rides to the passengers in the year 2022.

Conclusion

If this happens then this will be greatest invention for the space lovers who wants to explore outer world but not have enough resources available to them.

But the major issue is cost of the flight that surely not soo much inexpensive and that's natural because of investment in one flight is also big as proper training is given and space suits also be given to each passenger. But let's see in future what steps are taken by the organization to provide space flights to everyone .
