The most famous space PR man, founder and CEO of the company Spacex Elon Musk will soon fly into space. However, his own program Starship and the Dragon spacecraft created by the company, which recently delivered two cosmonauts to the ISS, will have nothing to do with this.
As it became known, the propagandist of the colonization of Mars bought a ticket for a space tour from the company Virgin galactic… She the other day successfully brought into space spaceship Unity-22 with British billionaire Richard Branson on board.
It should be noted that the company Blue origin, whose services the founder intends to use soon Amazon Jeff Bezos, did not acknowledge Branson’s flight. The billionaire on Unity-22 climbed only 86 kilometers and did not cross the Karman line at an altitude of 100 kilometers, which is considered the “boundary of space.”
It is still unknown when Elon Musk’s flight will take place, for which he paid 250 thousand dollars. But “in line” for a walk under the Virgin Galactic flag is already about 600 people, including Justin Bieber and Leonardo DiCaprio.
As for the SpaceX program, which itself could “ride” Elon Musk, it is mainly focused on government contracts.
Her first private mission Inspiration4paid in full by billionaire Jared Isaacman, founder Shift4 Payments, slated for September. A crew that is already training is underway, will spend up to five days in orbit in the Crew Dragon capsule.
