2 historical events happened this month in space history:

2 Self-made billionaires Jeff Bezos and Richard Brandson flew to space, with their own space shuttles and investments, and with them 2 young guys also travelled to space:

Oliver Daemen, the Dutch teenager paid(from his father’s account) approx Rs. 300cr for an 11 min flight to space and became the youngest person and the only teenager to have flown in space.

On the other hand, Sirisha Bandla 33 years old became the second India-born woman to go to space and paid nothing, or we can say invested her precious years of life in learning and developing skills to be in space for 1 min and 12 seconds.

Yes there were a few more who travelled with them but for me, these 4 are important, out of 4, 3 invested their life, in learning and gaining knowledge and reaching space and opening the door for many other dreamers who want to travel to space, and the fourth one- yes he had a Private Pilot licence, still 2 years to go for becoming a professional travelled by just paying for the seat.

So yes money can buy everything you want to buy, be a space shuttle or a 10 min flight to space, but once you pay money will be exhausted, on the contrary education and skills can make you strong enough to take you anywhere you want, be it space or Mars, and it will grow with experience and yes, you can buy money also with skill, education and knowledge 🙂
