Answer 1

Answer:

Only about 560 people have ever been to space. That may sound like a lot, but actually it’s about the number of people who could fit on a very large passenger airplane or attend a medium-size elementary school.

Humans have been going to space since Yuri Gagarin flew in orbit around the Earth in 1961. But the rocket launches since then have been infrequent. Only 12 of NASA’s astronauts walked on the moon during the Apollo-era of the late 1960s and early 1970s. And the space shuttle flew just 135 times during its 30-year career, or an average of almost five times a year.

But now there are a few companies trying to open up space to ordinary people, maybe one day even to kids. Two of them — Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin — want to take tourists on trips to the edge of space. These people wouldn’t orbit the Earth, but rather they would fly up and then come back down. (Jeffrey P. Bezos, the founder of Blue Origin, also owns The Washington Post.)
