Summary: Space founder Elon Musk, id planning a private space mission to transport two passengers around the moon. It would be launched from the historic Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. Muck says the flight would be on an autonomous spacecraft that needs no specially trained astronauts on board. The International Space Station was surprised, but says it will help the competition against NASA. Musk said that the weeklong mission around the moon would involve a trip of 300,000 to 400,000 miles. " the two passengers have already paid a significant deposit to do a moon mission, Like the Apollo astronauts before them, these individuals will travel into space carrying the hops and dreams of all human kind, driven by the universal human spirit of exploration."
Analysis: This article written by Dave Berman at February, 27,2017 at 5:03 p.m. talks about the exciting adventure two people are going to have. I would just kill to go into space, it just intrigues me and I would just dedicate my life to one day in space. The article didn't specify who the two passengers where, but I bet we will all feel jealous because they also didn't have to have years of learning and studying. This article also shows that increased advancements of our technology as humans. We have come so far and now we are starting to have passengers in space crafts? Even though in our generation, the syfy movies may just be a dream too far away, but maybe in our future generations it will become a reality. This connects to similar space craft launches like voyager !, Pioneer 10, Explorer, and Curiosity.
