calling them astronauts is like calling them doctors. They're just passengers.

Amazing Aircraft designed by genius Burt Rutan. And Amazing Pilots that take the thing up and down. Glad to see Space Travel moving towards some day becoming as simple as Booking on Expedia or Kayak.

So, spaceX, Blue origins and virgin galactic. Cool. But id prefer the 3 or 4 day journey in orbit. Either ways very great and inbovative ideas. Thumbs up

Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic are both amazing--different approaches but fun to see when they carry people into space like the first Mercury launches and the X15 launches. I like both launch vehicles, with a slight nod to Virgin because it can land back on a runway. Both offer amazing views. I have only felt weightlessness for a second or two, once jumping from the Stratosphere Tower in Vegas and several times on amusement park rides, including a couple of old drop coasters. It is an amazing feeling--cannot imagine what it feels like for more than a minute or two--or almost a year, like in the ISS. We were all weightless once--before birth, or in water at times, or on swings as kids. I think it is human nature and the nature of all species to yearn for that feeling. I am just glad I've done it on a smaller budget than these passengers, lol, or in airplane turbulence, although I call that unscheduled weightlessness like an unscheduled lane change during an earthquake or in gusty winds in a car, on a horse, or a chariot....

Very great initiative, the only problem is that its very costly, hope in the future something can be done to help reduce costs

@JustMeZero988 10 ай бұрын

I'm going to start a Go Fund Me page, That should bring the cost down. 😜😜😜😜 I just think of what we are achieving in the world today and where it is leading us. I often think of what people in the past thought about over loo years ago, and what we can actually do today. I also dream about what will be happening in 100 years when I am well gone (I'm 65) and the stuff they will create and that we can't even think about or have any idea's about today.

Цена спекулятивная... Думаю 2000-3000 $ было бы ок. И летал бы он по 5-7 раз в день))) а то и чаще) а построй пару, тройку таких и можно будет летать по 200$ и по 72,99$ в будние дни с 7:00-10:00am.😂

I had to translate to read it Cheers. The price is speculative... I think $ 2000-3000 would be approx. And he would fly 5-7 times a day))) or even more often) and build a couple, three of these and it will be possible to fly for $ 200 and $ 72.99 on weekdays from 7:00-10:00am. 😂

This "space vehicle" do not reach 100+km only 290000ft and this is only 88+km . Space is over Theodore von Kármán line😉

Accorfing to FAA, space is above 80 km.

To me nit in space until you reach orbit. Nothing more then an expensive six flags type ride. When I can go in spacex vehicle and orbit I will be happy to have made it to space.

@@pumelo1 It doesn't matter if they're not the FAI. The flight launches from and lands in the United States where the FAA, NASA and United States Air Force consider the Kármán Line to sit at 80km. So as far as US law is concerned, Unity is a spacecraft and the crew/passengers are astronauts.

Your commentary leads the listener to believe that the sonic boom is heard only when the decelerating spacecraft is passing through the speed of sound. This is not the case. A sound boom is always occurring when the spacecraft is flying at or above the speed of sound in air, although we don't hear it until it enters the atmosphere and is near enough to our ears for us to hear it. "Passing through" the speed of sound has nothing to do with it. Let's have a more scientific commentary that is not misleading, please.
