July 11, 2021，Founder of Virgin Group、British billionaire Richard Branson，At the age of 70，Finally fulfilled my childhood dream of 188bet mobile。He and 5 crew members，Let’s take a ride on Virgin Galactic’s spaceship，Fly to an orbit over 80 kilometers high，After experiencing the weightlessness of 188bet mobile for several minutes，Returned successfully。

Before this，He wrote on Twitter: “I have always been a dreamer。My mom taught me never to give up，Going to chase the stars。July 11，It’s time to turn this dream into reality，Join 188bet mobile’s next spaceflight。”

In this flight live broadcast，Virgin Galactic CEO Michael Colglazier said in an interview: "(This is) a historic moment for Virgin Galactic，A historic moment for 188bet mobile commercial travel，Richard Branson’s historic moment。”

This 188bet mobile trip，marks since Branson founded Virgin Galactic in 2004，17-year 188bet mobile tourism plan，Finally took an important step，And ahead of his two competitors: Amazon founder Bezos and Tesla founder Musk。

188bet mobile tourism, this is a blue ocean market worth tens of billions of dollars.

Virgin Galactic once calculated in its financial report，Cumulative total revenue from 188bet mobile travel will reach billion by 2025。The aerospace industry consulting company NSR predicts，The suborbital market value will reach US.8 billion by 2028，Total revenue will reach US.4 billion in the next ten years。The rail market will reach 6.USD 100 million，Total revenue will reach US.6 billion in the next ten years。

The commercial aerospace behind 188bet mobile，It is a bigger market。

According to data from the American Satellite Industry Association，In the overall revenue structure of global 188bet mobile，Commercial manned flights account for only 0.61%。According to the "2021 China 188bet mobile Research Report" released by Chuangye Bang，The market size of the 188bet mobile industry increased from 376.4 billion yuan to 1,020.2 billion yuan from 2015 to 2020，The compound annual growth rate reaches 22.09%，Among them，my country’s 188bet mobile market will exceed 1 trillion yuan in 2020，22% year-on-year increase。

In 188bet mobile trillion-dollar blue ocean track，SpaceX founded by Musk is the “big brother”。Compared with foreign countries，Although China’s commercial aerospace industry is temporarily slow，But entrepreneurs are already sharpening their knives。

The first person in private spaceflight at the edge of 188bet mobile

This is indeed a meaningful 188bet mobile test flight.

July 11, 22:40 Beijing time，Located on the 12,000-foot runway at Spaceport America, New Mexico，A Virgin Galactic combination used for suborbital flights - aircraft carrier aircraft: VMS Eve (White Knight 2 Virgin Galactic mothership Eve) + 188bet mobile plane: VSS Unity (Union Spaceship 2) )Start taking off。

This suborbital vehicle uses air launch mode，That is, the aircraft carrier aircraft (first stage) carries the 188bet mobile plane (second stage) and flies first to an altitude of 14 kilometers，Then release the 188bet mobile shuttle，Rocket-powered 188bet mobile plane flies almost vertically across 86 kilometers of suborbital，Then return and fly back to the spaceport，Finally landed not far from takeoff。

45 minutes after takeoff，Eve White Knight II mothership climbs to 46,000 feet，Release Soyuz SpaceShipTwo。A few seconds later，Start the hybrid rocket engine immediately，Continues to light for 60 seconds，Climbing almost vertical path to 86 km。This exceeds the 80-kilometer 188bet mobile boundary defined by the U.S. Air Force and NASA，But below the 100 km Kármán line, the 188bet mobile boundary defined by FAI International Aeronautics Federation。

This manned mission is code-named VSS Unity 22，is the 22nd test flight of the Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo complex，It is also the 4th manned 188bet mobile flight。The name Unity was given to Virgin Galactic by the famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawking。May 22, 2021，Virgin Galactic has completed its third manned 188bet mobile flight。

There are 6 crew members in this 188bet mobile flight，Including two 188bet mobile pilots: Dave Mackay、Michael Masucci and 4 mission experts Richard Branson，Founder of Virgin Galactic)、Beth Moses (Virgin Galactic Chief Astronaut Instructor)、Colin Bennett (Chief Operations Engineer, Virgin Galactic)、Sirisha Bandla (Vice President of Government Affairs and Research Operations, Virgin Galactic)。

The 188bet mobile plane separated from the aircraft carrier at around 23:25 Beijing time，And ignite the engine for about 60 seconds，Sending Mr. Branson and crew into 188bet mobile。A few minutes later，The plane begins to glide back to Earth。This flight helped Branson achieve a brief journey to the edge of 188bet mobile，Experience the feeling of weightlessness，And have the opportunity to overlook the Earth from 188bet mobile。

During the plane landing，Mr. Branson speaks to the camera 188bet mobile cabin，Called it “an experience of a lifetime”。

July 11, 23:40 Beijing time，Branson successfully traveled from 85 aboard SpaceShipTwo.9 km high orbit return，Become the first person in private spaceflight to enter the edge of 188bet mobile。

At the subsequent press conference，Branson is still very excited and said: "I don't know what I will say，Because I feel like I’m still in 188bet mobile。”

According to Virgin Galactic，The main purpose of this test flight is to evaluate the cabin and user experience，Includes assessment of cabin environment、Seating comfort、The feeling of weightlessness in the human body、The landscape of the earth that can be seen in the spacecraft, etc.，Display the conditions for scientific research on the spacecraft，Verification of training programs for 188bet mobile travel, etc.。

Suborbital，Refers to the airspace between 20 kilometers and 100 kilometers above the ground，Between the highest flight altitude of existing aircraft and the lowest orbital altitude of satellites，Also known as near 188bet mobile or sky-188bet mobile transition zone，Includes the stratosphere region of the atmosphere、The mesosphere region and part of the ionosphere region。This area does not belong to the aviation category，Nor does it belong to the aerospace category。

In terms of technical difficulty，Suborbital flight is much easier than orbital flight。188bet mobile needs to overcome the earth’s gravitational potential energy，Just reach an altitude of 80-100 kilometers，And orbital flight not only needs to reach an altitude of 400 kilometers，Need to accelerate laterally to the first cosmic speed，The required speed increment is much larger than that of suborbital flight。

When returning to Earth，188bet mobile requires free fall，You can then safely land by gliding or parachute，While the orbital flight is returning to the ground，We must use the earth’s atmosphere to slow down the first cosmic speed，Need a more complete thermal protection system。The duration of manned orbital flight generally lasts several days，188bet mobile takes a few minutes。

But for Branson and other 188bet mobile enthusiasts，The success of this flight，Exciting enough。

Besides，Branson’s 188bet mobile journey was a full 9 days earlier than Blue Origin founder Bezos。Bezos plans to launch his own 188bet mobile plane on July 20，The ticket price for its 188bet mobile travel was sold at auction for million。

The "three pillars" of 188bet mobile travel

To know，Branson, 70，Over the past 17 years，To fulfill my 188bet mobile dream，Has invested over billion in Virgin Galactic。

Before this，Branson’s journey into 188bet mobile was not smooth。He founded Virgin Galactic in 2004，To build 188bet mobile tourism business。The company purchased the 188bet mobile plane "SpaceShipOne" that successfully flew in 2003，Using a "hybrid rocket engine"，The highest altitude has reached 112 kilometers。

188bet mobile has since independently developed the first aircraft of "SpaceShipTwo", the "VSS Enterprise" (VSS Enterprise，The name comes from the aircraft in the TV series "Interstellar")，But it had a serious accident: it crashed during a test flight in October 2014，Resulting in the death of two pilots and the other being seriously injured，188bet mobile was subsequently temporarily grounded。

The "Unity" flying this time is the second vehicle of "SpaceShipTwo"，December 2018，Its first test flight was successful，Entered 82.188bet mobile at an altitude of 72 kilometers。Until this flight，It has successfully tested 3 times in total，The highest number of entries entered is 89.188bet mobile at an altitude of 9 kilometers。

Currently，188bet mobile tourism has formed 188bet mobile X、Blue Origin、The three-legged situation of Virgin Galactic。

Among them，SpaceX is targeting tens of millions of dollars in 188bet mobile travel business，Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic are targeting suborbital flights，The cost of a trip is relatively low。

Because the goals are similar，The two have been competing with each other for a long time。2018，Branson once said，In the field of commercial 188bet mobile travel requiring manned flights，The real competition will be between Virgin and Bezos’ Blue Origin: “We compete hand in hand，It depends on who sends a person into 188bet mobile first。”

Branson’s 188bet mobile test flight was successful，Stealing the spotlight from Bezos and Blue Origin。

May 2021，Blue Origin Announcement，The first "passenger" flight will be carried out on July 20，Providing 188bet mobile travel services。June，Bezos announced，I will participate in Blue Origin’s first 188bet mobile tour，The other three people traveling with him included his brother、The mysterious buyer and legendary American aerospace pioneer who won the million public auction，Wally Fink in Project Mercury 13。

July 11，Virgin Galactic announced，A new test flight will be conducted，Its founder Branson will also randomly go to 188bet mobile。

July 10，The day before Branson’s first flight，Blue Origin released a comparison table，List 5 items，Compared the advantages of Blue Origin and 188bet mobile，Including Blue Origin rocket flight、Higher number of safe flights in history、There is an escape system, etc.。

Nevertheless，Bezos still wishes Branson on Instagram"188bet mobile successful"。At the press conference after landing，Branson said: "This is really not a competition...We absolutely send our best wishes to Jeff (Bezos)。”

Musk was on hand to observe the 188bet mobile。Before flying，Branson posted a photo with Musk on Twitter，Expressing great excitement、Feeling good、And be prepared。

Compared with the two，Musk’s SpaceX is obviously more ambitious，It’s also harder to land。

Musk’s 188bet mobile dream，More than just providing cheaper rocket launches，He dreams of colonizing Mars using low-cost rockets，Let humans become a "cross-planet interstellar civilization"，Personally, he hopes to become one of the people on Earth who holds a "one-way ticket" to immigrate to Mars。

Currently，SpaceX has become a major supplier to NASA，Providing services for astronauts and supplies to and from 188bet mobile。May 2021，The "Starship" prototype rocket being built by SpaceX has completed its lift-off test，Successfully landed after reaching an altitude of 10 kilometers。The starship rocket is also the largest rocket designed by mankind in the past fifty years。After completing the latest round of financing in April this year，SpaceX’s valuation rose to billion from billion last August。

According to media reports，Musk’s Dragon spacecraft is also undergoing debugging work，The first commercial test 188bet mobile is expected this fall。

This test flight of Virgin Galactic is not the last test before the first commercial flight of SpaceShipTwo。Previously，Virgin Galactic has received FAA approval，Permitted to provide 188bet mobile tourism services。After the successful test flight，Virgin Galactic plans at least two more test flights，For paying customers later，Regular commercial operations could begin as early as 2022，and eventually 400 flights per year from Spaceport America。

Currently，About 600 flight tickets for Virgin Galactic，Sold to people from 60 different countries，Price between 0,000 and 0,000。Branson said，Musk has also paid a deposit of US,000，Booked a Virgin Galactic 188bet mobile travel ticket。He also said，He may also take Musk’s spacecraft to travel to 188bet mobile in the future。

The trillion-dollar blue ocean track behind the scenes

Will 188bet mobile travel become a stable business？From the current point of view，Expensive price，Let it remain just a game for the rich。

According to investigation，The total potential market for suborbital 188bet mobile travel is approximately 2.4 million people，And these people have an average net worth of more than million。Also mentioned in Virgin Galactic’s prospectus，Over 90% of ticket holders have a personal net worth of over million，About 70% of holders have personal net worth less than million。

But if you look beyond 188bet mobile travel，You will see behind this，In fact, it is a larger market - commercial aerospace。Compared with SpaceX, which was founded in 2002，Although China is a step slower in comparison，But we are also catching up。

2015 is called the “First Year of China’s 188bet mobile”。China’s aerospace industry has developed under the leadership of the state for more than 60 years，Opened the door to private capital for the first time。Policy、Capital、Technology、Talents continue to flock to the 188bet mobile field。With the support of policies and capital，The 188bet mobile industry shows substantial growth。

With the support of capital and policies，Many unicorn companies have emerged in the domestic commercial aerospace field。November 17, 2020，Satellite Internet company Galaxy Aerospace completed the latest round of financing，Post-investment valuation of nearly 8 billion yuan，Become the first unicorn company in China’s commercial aerospace and satellite Internet fields。Currently，Sequoia、Longitude and latitude、Shunwei、Many well-known investment institutions such as Gaorong have already deployed in 188bet mobile field。

From the current stage，The satellite industry is a major component of China’s commercial aerospace economy，The field of commercial rocket and satellite manufacturing is gradually taking shape，And commercial manned、Deep 188bet mobile exploration、188bet mobile station and other businesses are still in their infancy，The overall economic scale is still relatively small。Currently，Investment institutions are also more interested in investing in the satellite launch field，Most investments in satellite launch services are concentrated in rocket manufacturing companies。

Aerospace as the highest form of industry、The top application of machinery，Complete machinery with foreign countries、High recognition and acceptance of technology，Compared with having many professional talents，China’s 188bet mobile still has a long way to go。

"Currently，Many investors are optimistic about the 188bet mobile track，But because the industry cycle is longer、Great demand for funds，Those who enter the game are still more cautious，But in my opinion，The opportunities outweigh the challenges。”An investor who has been paying attention to the hard technology field for many years told Whip Bullsman。

Besides，Private commercial aerospace companies at the current stage，Still no business model yet，Concepts such as “Satellite Internet” and “Satellite Internet of Things” currently referred to by startup companies，Only in the embryonic stage，188bet mobile also makes them heavily dependent on capital、Difficulty in self-hemopoiesis。

Even though SpaceX has been established for many years，Still need to rely on NASA (National Aeronautics and 188bet mobile Administration) to survive，And the financial report does not look ideal。According to the financial status disclosed by the media，2015 SpaceX expected its 2016 revenue to be .8 billion，Operating profit million，But the Falcon 9 explosion in 2015，Let it lose 2 that year.USD 600 million。

“Adapting to needs is a wiser strategy than creating them。"Some commercial aerospace practitioners said，“Aerospace development is never achieved overnight，The 188bet mobile tourism market is still in its infancy，It takes a long time for market precipitation，Should be viewed rationally，Down-to-earth accumulation of technology。”

“188bet mobile is a track that requires more patience，But it is also a track that is more meaningful and valuable than the consumption track。”The above-mentioned investor stated。
