The first all civilian space flight took place on June 16, 1963 when Valentina Tereshkova a textile factory worker and an amateur skydiver became the first civilian/ non military person to not only fly in space, but she was also the first and only woman to fly solo in space, the first woman to pilot a spacecraft, the first woman to command a spacecraft and she is also still the youngest at 26 years of age.

Space is so magical so much to take in. Simple days I watch and listen to music I like imagine me travel the space. New rock and legend rock like deltaparole, foo fighter, nirvana, rush.

This is amazing! Humans are becoming multi planetary species soon

[donny]

Some people have extremely unrealistic goals outside of our natural habitat.
Elon Musk: Colonize Mars
Jeff Bezos: Colonize a planet in another solar system
Tom Cruise: Mission Impossible 8

People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in bitcoin

Virgin Galactic space time: 5mins, Altitude: 80km (50miles) , Edge of space
Blue Origin space time: 3mins, Altitude: 105km (66miles), Edge of space
SPACEX space time: 3days or 4320minutes, Altitude: 585km (365miles), ACTUAL space

SPACEX dwarfed both blue origin and virgin galactic records by many many folds.

I am amazed to see people flying in sky so far and surprised how much is financed for Great journeys ; Congrats Space travellers and Global governance who have advanced technologies. I have a belief that "aliens should get pleased if they see living beings in space so that they help humans sustain life on Earth" - ??Can you verify this belief with technologies which is never available for all on Earth (I am writing from outside USA) but on behalf of Space explorations globally

[johnshirley]

@The Elon, Congrats on another perfect mission and thanks for the massive donation to St Jude's. You are amazing.
Oh, when you want to send an "old fogie" into orbit, I'm available. lol

[questionreality]

Where's Richard's and Jeff's 50 million for St. Jude Hospital? : (like asking 'Where's Hunter .. '

[yunleung]

If Bezos does it it's bad
if SpaceX does it it's brilliant
