After the tragedy of the Titan submersible, it has now been revealed that another group of millionaires intends to go into space in a commercial rocket, which makes many think that “the rich have not learned their lesson.”
On June 29, the Virgin Galactic company announced that it launched its commercial aircraft Galactic 01 into orbit, with the purpose of traveling to outer space for commercial and scientific purposes. And although many criticized the passengers’ decision, fortunately, it was a success.
According to information from the media, the mission named Galactic 01 took off from the Spaceport America base in the desert state of New Mexico, United States, headed by Italian Colonel Walter Villadei, with two Italian Air Force officers and an engineer from the Italian National Research Council to touch the limit of space.
Upon achieving this, the scientist and owner of the company, Richard Branson, completed his dream with great success, since after years of tests, accidents and delays, one of his three rockets finally achieved complete success, opening the possibility of future boarded flights. by passengers willing to pay nearly half a million dollars. In other words, if diving to the bottom of the sea used to cost a quarter of a million dollars, going into space is worth twice as much.
In addition, it has been announced that there is already a list in which some space explorers have signed up, for which some criticism was generated comparing the unfortunate episode that took place on Titan when five people went to explore the Titanic with the need to now explore space in a commercial aircraft that can put the lives of passengers at risk.
It should be noted that the company has already flown into space five times. However, the only passengers had been his employees, but due to the successful test carried out by elements of the Italian Air Force, it is estimated that in a few months commercial and open flights can be made for anyone who is willing and can afford that kind of “humble tastes”
