VIRGIN Galactic made history after successfully carrying out the world’s first paid space sightseeing flight. Galactic Flight 02 is known to have taken place on Thursday (8/10/2023) US time.
Galactic Flight 02 is special because of other historical records as well as being the first paid space sightseeing flight in the world. During the flight, another record was recorded, namely a mother-daughter pairing and the first Olympic medalist in the world to reach space.
They are Jon Goodwin who won the gold medal at the 1972 Munich Olympics, Germany, and mother and daughter Keisha Schahaff and Anastatia Mayers.
This moment is also a sweet record for Virgin Galactic because it can carry crews of commercial passengers not trained to visit space. The company managed to fly the three passengers 88 kilometers from Earth using the VSS Unity aircraft.
Upon arriving at their destination, the three were immediately invited to take a look at Earth from space. They also felt the sensation of zero gravity floating the three tourists.
Mentioned news from heaven, Jon Goodwin, Keischa Schahaff and Anastatia Mayers had been ordering the flight since 2005. Back then they paid US$250,000 for the tickets or they reached IDR 3.7 billion.
