Humans have now traveled to space via VSS Unity, which has completed its first flight to space on a mission called the Galactic 02.

A rocket-powered space which is reusable was used for this journey. The spacecraft took off at 11 am from Spaceport America in New Mexico. 

Six people boarded the spacecraft, including the commander and former astronaut CJ Sturckow, pilot Kelly Latimer, and Virgin Galactic’s Chief Astronaut instructor, Beth Moses. Beth Moses also trained the crew before the flight. 

The spacecraft took three more passengers, including Keisha Schahaff, a health and wellness coach, and her 18-year-old daughter Anastasia Mayers. The interesting fact about this flight is that it is the first mother-daughter duo to venture into space together, marking the most number of women flying to space on a single mission. 

Another exciting part of this flight is that Jon Goodwin was also one of the passengers, who was a former Olympian. He was the first Olympian to go to space. Goodwin is 80 years old and has Parkinson’s. He was the second passenger with Parkinson’s to space.

“In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

“After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
