Sir Richard Branson rockets to edge of space🚀
The UK entrepreneur flew high above New Mexico in the US in the vehicle that his company has been developing for 17 years, Unity22. The trip was, he said, the "experience of a lifetime".He returned safely to Earth just over an hour after leaving the ground. The trip also makes him the first of the new space tourism pioneers to try out their own vehicles, beating Amazon's Jeff Bezos and SpaceX's Elon Musk.
Bezos is adamant that space begins at the internationally recognized Karman line some 62 miles (100 kilometers) above sea level. Blue Origin typically reaches an apogee of around 66 miles. By contrast, Virgin Galactic flies to an altitude of around 55 miles, thereby surpassing the 50-mile mark at which U.S. military pilots are awarded their astronaut wings.
Bezos gonna cross the (KARMAN) line 😂
