On June 22, NASA and Virgin Galactic signed an agreement to develop a program to train private orbital astronauts. The program aims to find candidates interested in purchasing private flights to the ISS. The project also includes the training of newly minted astronauts, as well as their transportation to the ISS.

At the moment, Virgin Galactic has not yet announced further details of the project or the cost of a private space flight.

Presumably, Virgin Galactic will have to use SpaceX spaceships since, at the moment, Virgin Galactic has only one suborbital SpaceShipTwo. The ship, unfortunately, is not able to send astronauts into space since it has not yet passed the required number of tests.

After Virgin Galactic announced its cooperation with NASA, the company’s share price rose sharply by 20%. The rise in the company’s share price could be the beginning of the rehabilitation of Richard Branson’s empire, as his Virgin company suffered huge losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The good news is, RV’s are a thing. Good folks of Airstream — a renowned American trailer maker — have revisited an all-time classic to create Airstream Classic Travel Trailer. Only the best traditions remain in this model. The ‘Classic’ part has been used since 1979 to mark Airstream’s top models. If you choose to stay in an RV, make it as comfortable as possible!

The changes include a detail which the world’s connoisseurs will certainly appreciate. The model now has a wider palette. You can now choose the Comfort White floor plan with tasty Earl Grey or delicious Caffe Latte Ultraleather upholstery. But wait, there’s more. The new interior has improved cupboard fronts made of imported European wood and finished in the shaker style: no frills, just the beauty of minimalism. The white makes the interior visibly more spacious and renders the design less flashy. The handles — accentuated with German brass — make for brilliant finishing touches. Intentionally contrasting dark Corian tabletops decorated with swirl ornaments make the space warmer and more exquisite.

The bed in the sleeping compartment is covered with snow-white sheets finished with silver lacework ensuring a comfortable sleep and pleasant mornings. This way, an RV provides a 5-star hotel level of comfort. Chairs in the dining compartment, the jackknife sofa bed and foldable table in the main living compartment are finished in high-quality leather rhombuses giving the interior a consistent style. There is also a secret room to hide the most precious belongings, an ingenious design solution. The dealers will whisper its location into your ear to keep it a secret between you and the manufacturers.

The interior has been upgraded with several elements of luxury which do not make the vehicle any less practical. A toilet bowl (available only for 33FB), slim gooseneck corner taps and a large kitchen sink perfectly complement the 2020 Airstream Classic interior.

Moreover, the good people of Airstream revamped the intelligent management system providing full control of all of the trailer’s systems, handling of the key functions, and location of the vehicle in any part of the world, all on a single 7-inch screen. The RV may also be monitored via a mobile app. That’s right, the future is now.

Now you can safely drive far, far away without worrying if you turned the tap off before leaving. Now you can look if everything is alright by yourself instead calling your relatives in blind panic. There is a chance of starting the day the right way at the right place. Doesn’t that sound appealing?
