Humans taming the art of flight is so impressive. I'm just marveled by how an aircraft with seemingly tiny wings can make so much out of the atmosphere and glide like a bird.
The rate at which technology is improving and getting greater and greater inspires me more anf more to stay as healthy as i possibly can to live as ling ad possible to see the amazing things that us humans can and will do since i was born in 92 im now 31 and we are jsut now making it where there is commercial space flight and elextric cars is now a regular thing and i wish i would have been born today actually so i could live and see all the great things we are gonna fo jn the next 80 yeara
The first ti fly on the blinps and airplanes paves the commercial feasibility and made it routine enough to fly safely. Its the way if things to start small build up funds and demand to make it cheaper in the long run. This is just the way it is. I hope this gets routine fast enough for anyone to fly. I believe the starship will be the way to maje it cheap to get into space and work there too.😊
Why is there no intention for Virgin Galactic to reach the internationally recognized 100 km Karman Line like its predecessor SpaceShipOne did for the X Prize?
Yeah it’s very cool but not really space. I mean if your definition of space is weightlessness then every time you go on a roller coaster you’re going to space.
Space 100km up does not mean weightlessness, you are still subject to the same gravity. But calculations worked out space to roughly start at 83km. So this is space - they just rounded it up.
Anyone else having flashbacks, from say, The Titan! But then again we humans can't just beat curiosity. I'm glad they succeeded. Hopefully they'll actually be remembered for pioneering commercial space travel
I was watching it, and i would give anything to be up there. But i have 1 questions this idiots up there didn’t even look outside the window to see what’s below. Wondering what was the point then.
The ironic thing about space travel is there's nowhere go. I mean, no Earth type environment. No planet has breathable atmosphere. Kinda funny. A huge universe with nowhere to go. It's like film director James Cameron going on about how amazing the oceans/underwater is. Well if it were that amazing we'd be able to breathe underwater. 😄 Clearly, nature didn't design humans to live in space or in the seas.
The runway was located at an altitude of around 4,600 feet, so I don't understand why you're doubting that an automated landing wouldn't have been able to accomplish the landing safely?
I don't like that they call it spaceflight when they didn't reach 100 km altitude. Regardless it would be a wonderful experience to see the planet from that height.
i think our future should include affordable commercial space trips, because us as humans should never stop exploring. Like when the planes were first invented nobody thought that one day they can spend just $200 and go to distances in plane
@@SciNewsRo Yeah, I mean it's not a total waste, I understand this. But it seems like it doesn't do much more compared to much cheaper sounding rockets.
@@jeffreyzheng4924 Commerical, maybe. Affordable, maybe not. I fear that space travel is going to be exceedingly expensive for a very long time. The amount of energy required just to reach low orbit is so vast, and requires so much engineering that it will never be "cheap". If there's one thing we've learned from the 'Titan' submersible debacle, it's that when people try to make difficult engineering 'cheap'... people die. And even then, the ticket price of $250k isn't what I would call affordable. Not saying it will never happen, but I don't think Bransons suborbital joyride is the way to commercial space travel.

@@SciNewsRo What's your point? The key reason why this Virgin product is a glorified sounding rocket is very simple: it's suborbital. Actually, let me walk that back. It's less than a sounding rocket. A sounding rocket serves real scientific value. This is a glorified amusement park joy ride for those with more money than sense. The design is laughably far removed from having the delta-V necessary for anything more than a few minutes up and a few minutes down. Spaceship? Puuuhhhleeaaseee.
what a lie, if they were in orbit they should be glued to the window looking at outer space... and by the way the sun would blind them... does anyone know how without oxygen in a vacuum the ship slows down, positions itself, turns around and reaches match 3 without any gravitational force interfering with it? ha ha ha

Why they go vertically ? That's too much g forces
How much?
This could have ended similarly to another special place expedition.
This is amazing, I wonder how does it feel
cant it go to 100km ceiling?
It's safer and less expensive to go 50 Miles, but It can do 110km ceiling

It's not how far, its how fast. You have to go much much faster to achieve orbit.
