The project of Elon Musk’s company is aiming to facilitate low-cost Internet to the isolated locations on a global scale. It is an ambitious project whose primary focus is to launch and operate its network featuring broad satellites.
In addition to this, the Falcon 9 rocket is going to be the one bringing a crew of astronauts to the International Space Station on 27th May 2020. The mission is called Demo-2 and will bring for the first time since 2011 a team of astronauts. The Demo-2 mission is an important step made towards Elon Musk’s desire to start regular tourism in the outer space. The company has been a leading source of sending spacecraft into the Universe, but they never managed to send humans or professional astronauts.
SpaceX has announced that they are planning on opening the outer space tourism in the late 2021. They plan to provide tourists with two days during the travel from the orbital space station and at least eight days on board. There are two tickets available at the price of $55 million each.
