<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Weather of Arabia - The British newspaper The Times said, in a report published on Sunday, May 14, 2023, quoting research published by the British Civil Aviation Authority, that holiday-goers and tourists will be able to travel from London to Sydney in less than two hours within a decade by Space travel</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The Civil Aviation Authority funds medical studies on the effects of suborbital spaceflight, in which tourists would be launched into space for a brief period before descending to their destination, in a fraction of the time taken by conventional flights.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> According to the Sunday Times, a study funded by the Civil Aviation Authority found that most people dealt well with G-forces for suborbital spaceflight.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>The 22-hour flight will take less than two hours</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Suborbital flights cost; Such as those offered by Sir Richard Branson&#39;s Virgin Galactic and Jeff Bezos&#39; Blue Origin, more than £350,000 ($437,000) per seat at present. However, organizers believe that these trips will not be restricted to the ultra-wealthy thrill-seekers, but rather an &quot;accessible&quot; cross-continental travel option that is eventually expected to mature into a very fast point-to-point journey, however. For example, from London to Sydney in less than two hours <strong>which currently takes about 22 hours.</strong></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Older adults are better at dealing with space travel</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The research, which was carried out with King&#39;s College London and facilitated by the RAF, found that those taking such flights would not need to be physically fit or young - with older people likely to be better at coping with space travel.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> A study put 24 healthy subjects, aged 32 to 80, in an RAF centrifuge at Cranwell to test the G-force, which can be felt during suborbital rocket launches and spaceplane flights.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> It was found that the G-force (artificial gravity) can reach four times the normal strength of Earth&#39;s gravity for 20 to 30 seconds during the ascent, and reach a peak of 6 times during the descent for 10 to 15 seconds. These forces can create a heavy sensation in the chest; This makes breathing more difficult, can reduce oxygen intake, affect heart rhythm and cause blood to pool away from the brain. The study also reported increased heart rate and blood pressure, a drop in blood oxygen, and &quot;blurry&quot; peripheral vision during periods of high gravity, but found that these quickly returned to normal. One participant briefly lost consciousness, but without lasting ill effects. It turns out that these effects can be mitigated by tilting the chair back slightly.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Anderton continued: “For the vast majority of people, even the elderly, it wouldn&#39;t necessarily be a problem and there wouldn&#39;t be a harmful effect in the long term. What we&#39;re trying to do in the research is identify individuals who might be at higher risk and what problems we might have to screen them for.” &quot;.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> As for Britain&#39;s plans to establish a number of spaceports on its soil, Anderton stressed: &quot;Man&#39;s flight to space from these sites is completely possible.&quot;</p>
