Boeing Wants To Send You To Space

According to CNN.com, Boeing wants to fly people into space, to the low-Earth orbit. Sky Limo Air Charter, a private aviation company, found out that the aerospace company Boeing and Virginia company Space Adventures have decided to see seats on Boeing commercial crew spacecraft to individuals, companies, non-governmental organizations and federal agencies.

The Sky Limo Air Charter private jet company learnt that the price hasn’t been decided yet and will be announced later on. Space Adventures has already flown seven people on missions to the international Space Station.

Both companies still need NASA and its international partners to get on board because that’s where the people would be flying to. Meanwhile, Boeing is still designing their CST-100 spacecraft which can carry seven passengers, it’s expected to be operational by 2015.

Plane Flying Underwater

Sky Limo always likes to report on all things travel and the newest inventions to hit the skies, except this one goes underwater, 20,000 leagues under sea to be exact. According to CNN.com, Virgin just unveiled the latest addition to Richard’s Branson luxury fleet, an underwater plane that will fly riders complete with their very own pilot into the ‘depths of the Caribbean Sea”. Guests on Necker Island, a retreat in the British Virgin Islands will be able to dive underwater in a submarine called the Necker Nymph for $25,000 a week. But in order to stay on the private island owned by Richard Branson, it costs $300,000 a week. The underwater plane uses the downward pressure on its wings to fly through the water for up to two hours at a time. It’s typical speed is two to five nautical miles per hour and it could dive to more than 100 feet. Riders have to follow SCUBA procedures and be trained or accompanied by certified pilots before riding the plane. Virgin said: “The Necker Nymph claims "near-zero" environmental impact because its "positive buoyancy prevents the sub from landing on a reef, and its low light and noise emissions ensure the fragile ocean ecosystems remain undisturbed."
