Humans have finally travelled to space! Virgin Galactic’s VSS Unity has achieved this feat of taking the first group of tourists to space, and the group successfully landed there recently. A reusable rocket-powered space plane was used for this journey.
The mission, known as Galactic 02, took off shortly after 11 AM ET from Spaceport America in New Mexico. There were six individuals aboard the spacecraft, which included the space plane’s commander and former NASA astronaut CJ Sturckow, pilot Kelly Latimer, and Beth Moses, Virgin Galactic’s chief astronaut instructor, who trained the crew before the flight.
