Published

on

The space race between billionaires Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson is heating up.

Virgin Galactic announced on Thursday that the space tourism company will attempt to launch its next test spaceflight on July 11, carrying founder Sir Richard Branson.

Branson is aiming to beat fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos to space, as the latter plans to launch with his own company, Blue Origin, on July 20.

“After more than 16 years of research, engineering, and testing, Virgin Galactic stands at the vanguard of a new commercial space industry, which is set to open space to humankind and change the world for good,”

Branson said in a statement

Following the announcement, shares in Virgin Galactic skyrocketed 20 percent during after-hours trade.

The mission will be Virgin Galactic’s fourth test spaceflight to date and its first mission with a crew of four onboard, as the company launched its most recent spaceflight, on May 22, with just two pilots.

“I’m honored to help validate the journey our future astronauts will undertake and ensure we deliver the unique customer experience people expect from Virgin.”

Branson stated

Alongside Branson will be three Virgin Galactic mission specialists: Chief astronaut instructor Beth Moses, lead operations engineer Colin Bennett, and government affairs VP Sirisha Bandla. Virgin Galactic pilots Dave Mackay and Michael Masucci will fly the company’s VSS Unity spacecraft.

Virgin Galactic said it will livestream the spaceflight for the first time, a feed that will be available on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.

Mastering decision-making and avoiding analysis paralysis

Published

on

In today’s fast-paced world inundated with endless choices, mastering decision-making has become an essential skill.

The digital age has provided us with an unprecedented array of options, from the products we purchase to the paths we choose in our careers and personal lives. With this abundance of choices, individuals often find themselves overwhelmed and paralyzed by indecision.

To navigate this intricate landscape, one must adopt a strategic approach to decision-making. The first step is to clarify your objectives. Clearly define what you want to achieve or the problem you aim to solve.

This sets the foundation for a focused decision-making process.

Gather information

Next, gather information and consider your options. In the digital age, information is readily available, but it’s crucial to distinguish between credible sources and misinformation. Seek advice from trusted experts or mentors when necessary.

Furthermore, embrace the power of prioritization. Not all choices are created equal, and some may have more significant impacts than others. Identify your priorities and allocate your time and resources accordingly.

Additionally, practice mindfulness and self-awareness. Understanding your values, beliefs, and biases can help you make decisions aligned with your true self. This introspective approach can lead to more fulfilling choices.

Lastly, don’t fear making mistakes. In a world full of options, no decision is entirely risk-free. Embrace the learning opportunities that come with making choices, whether they lead to success or setbacks.

By mastering decision-making in this age of abundance, you can lead a more purposeful and satisfying life. Remember, your choices shape your destiny, and with the right strategies, you can navigate the sea of options with confidence.
