 Some of these space launches are to bring satellites and astronauts into orbit. Today was a historic flight for Sir Richard Branson,  who is taking a different route for space travel.

Branson is looking to capitalize on lower orbit flight experiences.

According to The Guardian, Branson flew in lower orbit for 90 minutes with two pilots and three other passengers. 

This flight took place just a few days before Amazon founder, and rival Branson, Jeff Bezos launches his own rocket, New Shepard.
