Private Spaceflight
Private spaceflight refers to the involvement of private companies in the development and operation of spacecraft to travel beyond Earth's atmosphere. Unlike government space agencies, these companies, such as SpaceX and Blue Origin, aim to make space travel more accessible and cost-effective. They conduct missions related to satellite deployment, scientific research, and even crewed flights for tourists. The rise of private spaceflight has led to increased innovation in technology, reduced costs for launching payloads, and the potential for future colonization of other planets, contributing to the expansion of humanity's presence in space.
