The space programme will have 22 members in it for while thousands of applications have been received.

 

While Amazon’s Bezos hopes to be the first man to go to space in his own private rocket, he also sheds light on the field that is dominated by tech agencies.

 

The European Space Agency faces several challenges while it strives to survive.
