September 14, 2011 - Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak announced on Twitter yesterday that he's starting a space company called Privateer Space.

The simple tweet and video offered little information about Privateer Space, other than a history of rockets and the solar system. In the YouTube description, Privateer Space is described as "working to ensure that space is safe and available for all of humanity".

As we know, Privateer Space was co-founded by Steve Wozniak and Alex Fielding***. Wozniak, best known as the co-founder of Apple, and Fielding, who founded the robotics company Ripcord, Inc, previously co-founded Wheels of Zeus in ****2002, a company dedicated to creating wireless location tracking devices.

Steve Wozniak has done a lot of work since leaving Apple, so it's not surprising that he would start an aerospace company, especially now that the concept of space travel is so hot, and successful businesspeople like Bezos are making a lot of noise in the space community.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak announced on September 12, local time in the United States, will enter the popular cosmic field, the establishment of a new private space company, called Privateer Space, in addition to Ripcord founder Alex Fielding, co-founder of the same cosmic company.

- Steve Wozniak said that his 'private universe company, Privateer Space,' will work with Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Virgin Atlantic, among others. Steve Wozniak said that his 'private space company, Privateer Space,' would be different from the rocket-launching space companies of giants like Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Virgin, and would look more like a third-party space-service company with the mission of "making space safe for all to explore".

- No specifics about Privateer Space have been released yet, and we're sure we'll hear more about the company's business plans in the near future.

Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos have stolen the show by completing space trips. Not to be outdone, SpaceX, the company founded by Elon Musk, will orbit space for the first time with an all-civilian crew this week, marking a major milestone in space tourism and aiming to establish itself as a high-octane voyage.

Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin are undertaking suborbital spaceflights to return to Earth after a brief stay in space. They reached altitudes of 86 kilometers and 106 kilometers above the Earth, respectively, the former not even reaching the altitude generally recognized by the Kármán line. But Space Exploration Technologies is taking a big step forward this time. A fully automated, manned Crew Dragon spacecraft, the same model as NASA's spacecraft that carries astronauts to and from the International Space Station, is expected to lift off from the John F. Kennedy Space Center on the 15th. The two male and two female space travelers will fly 160 kilometers above the International Space Station, aiming to reach an altitude of 575 kilometers, slightly above the current location of the Hubble Space Telescope (Hubble Space Telescope).

In addition to outperforming its peers in altitude, the manned Dragon spacecraft is doubling the amount of time it will spend in space on this trip. The spacecraft will circle the Earth every 90 minutes at 27,360 kilometers per hour, or 22 times the speed of sound. They will stay in space for at least three days before returning to Earth.

The trip is the first time in 60 years of human spaceflight that an all-civilian crew has gone into orbit, and Jared Isaacman, the 38-year-old founder of the e-commerce company Shift4 Payments, is the "moneymaker" for Inspiration4's space trip. He hopes to use it to raise awareness and support for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a pediatric cancer center. He was joined by Sian Proctor, who won a seat in a contest, Chris Sembroski, who won a seat in a raffle given to him by a friend, and Hayley Arceneaux, who was recommended by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

None of the four travelers will be responsible for piloting the spacecraft. Isaacman and Proctor are both licensed pilots - the former can fly commercial and military aircraft, the latter was once a NASA astronaut candidate - but they are both only 'commander' and 'pilot' in 'name only' respectively. Arsinoe, himself a medical assistant, is the 'medical director' and Sembroski, a retired Air Force and space data engineer, is the mission 'commissioner'.

As the saying goes, "When you go on a trip, you have to be prepared," and the preparations for a trip to space were more than sloppy. They spent five months undergoing special training, such as altitude fitness, centrifuge, microgravity and simulator training, as well as emergency drills and physical examinations. In an interview with the Associated Press, Isaacman said they had a simulated flight similar to Apollo 13, where almost everything broke down, but everyone made it back to Earth, "so I think we all passed the test".
