Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak announced the creation of his own space company Privateer Space.

"A private space company, Privateer Space, unlike any other, is being created," Wozniak wrote on Twitter .

He also posted a link with a brief video presentation of the company on YouTube. The video says that Privateer Space was founded by Wozniak together with Alex Fielding, an American engineer and CEO of the robotics company Ripcord. In addition, the creators note that the new company "will work to make space safe and accessible for all mankind."

A detailed presentation of Privateer Space will be held at the AMOS Tech 2021 technology exhibition, which will be held on September 14-17.

On June 25, the company of British entrepreneur Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic, received approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to launch customers on suborbital flights from New Mexico. The company has already started selling tickets for its SpaceShipTwo spaceplane. The price of one seat starts from $450 thousand.

On July 20, Amazon creator Jeff Bezos went on a suborbital space flight on the New Shepard spacecraft, manufactured by his aerospace company Blue Origin. It lasted about 11 minutes, the ship was controlled automatically. The passengers of the ship, in addition to Bezos, were his younger brother Mark, 82-year-old professional pilot Wally Funk and 18-year-old Oliver Damen from the Netherlands.
