This weekend, Virgin Galactic — a firm started by British entrepreneur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/richard-branson-beats-jeff-bezos-to-the-punch-virgin-galactic-to-launch-full-crew-test-flight-9-days-before-amazon">Richard Branson</a> — will send its first full-crew flight into space. Branson will be closely followed by Amazon founder <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jeff-bezos-heading-to-space-after-resigning-as-amazon-ceo">Jeff Bezos</a>, who is joining the first crewed flight of Blue Origin’s New Shepard on July 20 — the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969.
The two breakthroughs represent the latest of many recent milestones for space companies. Last summer, SpaceX — a firm launched by Tesla CEO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/success-u-s-launches-men-into-space-from-american-soil-first-time-in-nearly-a-decade">Elon Musk</a> — became the first private venture to send American astronauts to the International Space Station.
