BRANSON'S ASSESSMENT and BRANSON'S MOTTO

"Space flight is hard, but worth it." - Sir Richard Branson                                                                                        https://www.cnet.com/news/branson-on-virgin-galactic-crash-space-is-hard-but-worth-it/

Branson was a passenger on board Virgin Galactic SpaceShip Two's flight to space (as defined in the USA*) on July 11, 2021 from Spaceport America in New Mexico, USA, thus becoming the first "paying" civilian to fly into space on a private vehicle, and winning the "billionaire space race" with Amazon's Jeff Bezos:                                         https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/07/01/branson-bezos-space-race/

*The USA Federal Aviation Administration defines an altitude of 50 miles as the edge of space: while elsewhere, the von Kármán line (100 kilometers) is generally defined as the edge of space.
