Branson’s Virgin Galactic looks to beat Bezos’s Blue Origin to space

The transcript discusses Richard Branson's suborbital space flight, which occurred two weeks before Jeff Bezos' planned flight with Blue Origin. Both flights are suborbital, meaning they don't reach speeds to stay in Earth's orbit. The text highlights the risks involved, referencing a 2014 Virgin Galactic crash. It also explores the definition of space, noting Virgin Galactic's flight reached 55 miles, above NASA's 50-mile space definition, while Blue Origin's New Shepherd can reach 62 miles, the internationally recognized Kármán line.
