Branson goes to "Space" - THE OKLAHOMAN TEEN NEWSPAPER

In a shocking flight, Richard Branson, owner and creator of Virgin Galactic, flew to the edge of “space”, around 50 miles above the Earth. He was the first victor of a non-official “space race” between himself, former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, and Tesla/Dogecoin enthusiast Elon Musk. Yet how will his successful flight change not only what is possible, but the entirety of humanity?

Sir Richard Branson was born in England, July 18, 1950 (happy 71st, Richard). A high school dropout, Branson began earning money with his magazine called Student. After some original success, the company soon began failing under the weight of financial hardship and debt. Branson thereafter founded a mail record store. In 1971, he opened the first-ever, inaugural British discount record store. The company was a major success and brought in substantial profits. He would fully sell off the business to later fund his airline company, Virgin Atlantic Airways.

Someone who completely self-started his multiple companies, his real-time wealth exceeds 4 billion dollars according to Forbes (4.3 bn), and will only continue to rise. His companies such as Virgin Atlantic raked in loads of cash and helped him form other companies such as Virgin Galactic, his space organization. His successful test trial puts him in the front seat for space tourism.
While space tourism talks have been around for quite some time, it seems that it is coming closer than it has ever been before. Bezos’ Blue Origin and Elon Musk’s Space X are pushing the boundaries of the human mind’s revolutionary thinking. Yet it still might take some time to fully grasp the understandings and warnings of space travel. It will take more than just a safe test run before the public will fully recognize the pleasure of the experience. It is however a massive achievement for Branson. If he can multiply his success and turn it into a large enterprise, he will become richer than ever before.
