“I hope that someday our billionaire oligarchs will start spending their money ... on the development of space technologies and knowledge about space,” Rogozin wrote in his Telegram channel.

According to him, "today's suborbital flight ... is a landmark event both in terms of technology development, and in terms of expanding the ability of mankind to look at our planet from space."

Earlier it became known that the suborbital ship with the billionaire Branson on board landed safely.
