Apparently, space travel is a popular desire among nearly half of American adults.

Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. said it is pushing back the launch of full commercial service for private-astronaut trips until toward the end of next year as it works to improve its space vehicles.

Following the investigation's findings, the FAA required Virgin Galactic to implement changes to how it communicates to the agency during flight operations. Virgin Galactic has also updated its calculations to expand the protected airspace for future flights to ensure "ample protected airspace for a variety of possible flight trajectories during spaceflight missions."

Virgin Galactic said Wednesday that the Federal Aviation Administration has cleared it to resume launches after an investigation into why its spaceship veered off course while descending during a July flight with founder Richard Branson aboard.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak announced the creation of a new private space company "unlike the others."

Virgin Galactic is refuting the contents of a September 1 report that claims that the company's historic July 11 suborbital spaceflight could have been close to a "perilous emergency landing."

Jeff Bezos might have to settle for an "honorary" title in his space race ambitions after U.S. air authorities altered requirements for the title of "astronaut."

Bezos and his crewmates touched down in the West Texas desert at the end of the more than 10-minute flight on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket on the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

"Given that SpaceX and Blue Origin employees have sophisticated high-tech skills with presumably high income, the impacted small community real estate market will clearly benefit," NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun told FOX Business.

The Federal Aviation Administration has opened a new office in Houston, Texas, in order to hold closer watch over the activities of billionaire-owned firms sending people into space.

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin announced Thursday that an 18-year-old would be the first paying customer to fly onboard its New Shepard suborbital rocket — and the youngest person to ever go to space.
