A billionaire did it before Bezos
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that UK billionaire and the owner of Virgin Atlantic, Richard Branson, finally landed in space with four other crew members.
It has always been the man’s dream to get to space and that was fulfilled when he shared his first video from there.
His Virgin Galactic rocket plane took off at what was called a 1.5-hour mission that took the spacecraft to an altitude that saw the sky turning black.
The launch happened above New Mexico at 08:30 EST. His company provided live streaming of the event.
