With spacecraft that can carry tourists into orbit（天體圍繞行星或恆星運行的）軌道 and connect Paris to New Yorkin less than two hours, the new heroes of space travel are not astronauts太空人 but daring captains of industry.

This new breed of space pioneers創始人 are all using private money to push the final frontier國境 as government space programs fall away背离.

Times have changed. Once the space race太空竞赛was led by the likes of the U.S. space agency NASA that put the first man on the moon in 1969.

Today it is entrepreneur企業家 Elon Musk — the founder of Tesla electric cars and space exploration探測 company Space—who wants to reach Mars in the 2020s.

The furthest（far的最高級） advanced — and most highly publicized公佈 — private space projectis led by Richard Branson, the British founder of the Virgin Group. His shuttle交通工具, SpaceShipTwo, will be launched发动 at high altitude海拔 from a weird-looking怪樣子four-engined mother ship — which can carry two pilots and up to six passengers —before embarking開始、著手 on a three-hour suborbital未進入地球軌道的 flight.

Branson and his sons will be the first passengers aboard the shuttle when it is expected to launch late 2014. His company Virgin Galactic銀河的、星系的 was given the green light in May by the U.S. Federal Aviation Agency (FAA)美国联邦航空管理局 to carry passengers from a base in New Mexico, which is named “Spaceport太空船发射降落场 America” — the stuff of science fiction小說.

The US$250,000 price of a ticket has not deterred阻撓 more than 600 people, including celebrities such as actor Leonardo Di Caprio, from booking their seats.
