I Dreamed of Going to Space When I Was a Child: Richard Branson Arrives at Spaceport on Bicycle

British businessman Richard Branson is preparing for his Sunday flight to space. The flight will take place using a rocket from Virgin Galactic, which will ascend to 15,000 km.

"I dreamed of going to space when I was a child, and I want to provide that opportunity for hundreds of thousands of people in the next 100 years," said the businessman.

However, as reported by fontanka.ru, the flight has been delayed by an hour and a half due to adverse weather conditions. The launch of the rocket was originally scheduled for 07:00 local time in New Mexico (17:00 Yerevan time).
