Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Blue Origin successfully completes fourth space tourism mission

Founded by Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, Blue Origin is the first company that started offering regular suborbital space tourism flights. On the first flight, Bezos himself and his brother were both onboard the New Shepard, Blue Origin’s suborbital spacecraft. The company just completed its fourth space tour with five paid passengers last month. Another company, Virgin Galactic, which was founded by entrepreneur Richard Branson and his Virgin Group, is also selling tickets for suborbital spaceflights to space tourists at $450,000 per seat. Branson himself was on board the first flight with three other employees. Also, founded by super entrepreneur Elon Musk, Space X offers trips to orbit the earth. It became the first private company that sent human crew members to the International Space Station in 2020.

Now, space tourism seems to be within the reach of those who can afford it financially and physically.

Enjoy reading the article and learning about space tourism.
