Virgin Galactic: British businessman Richard Branson returns to space on his own rocket

At the age of 71, British businessman Sir Richard Branson has realized his lifelong dream of returning to the frontiers of space. That too with a rocket created with own money.



The Unity rocket, developed by his company Virgin Galactic, has successfully returned to Earth after completing its one - and - a - half hour space journey.

Branson has returned to a height where the view of the earth is obscured, the sky is darkened, the force of gravity is greatly reduced and it floats automatically.

From New Mexico ...

Branson said he wanted to enjoy the trip before it could lead to those who want to pay and fly next year. The flight departed from New Mexico, USA at 3.30 pm British time.

Branson announced his intention to go into space in 2004. That dream has now come true after overcoming many obstacles.

"I have wanted to go into space since I was a child. I wanted to help tens of thousands of people go into space in the next century," Richard told the BBC.

How did his rocket plane work?

His rocket 'Unity' was carried by two huge planes and flew about 15 km. It was planned to reach an altitude of 50,000 feet, where the planes would be unloaded, the rocket's motor would be launched and the spacecraft would begin its journey into space.

That motor will run for 60 seconds. Then the earth below will provide a beautiful view. Maximum 90 km. The trip was designed to reach heights. I.e. 2 lakh 95 thousand feet high. The plan is for Richard to lose weight and start flying on a rocket at the peak.

Childhood poverty linked to brain changes related to depression Children from poorer families are more likely to experience changes in brain connectivity that put them at higher risk of depression, compared with children from more affluent families.  First study author Deanna M. Barch, PhD, chair of the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences in Arts & Sciences, and colleagues publish their findings in  The American Journal of Psychiatry . The study builds on previous research from the team published last year, which found that children raised in poverty have  reduced gray and white matter volumes in the brain , compared with those raised in richer families. Additionally, they found that such brain changes were linked to poorer academic achievement. For this latest study, the team set out to investigate whether childhood poverty may also lead to brain changes that influence mood and risk of  depression , given that children raised in poorer families tend to b
