- Visiting the RMS Titanic
The RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912. Titanic was under the command of Captain Edward Smith, who also went down with the ship. The ocean liner carried some of the wealthiest people in the world.
The wreck of Titanic was discovered in 1985 more than 73 years after the disaster.
The ship has split in two and is gradually disintegrating at a depth of 12,415 feet. Titanic has become one of the most famous ships in history, depicted in numerous works of popular culture, including books, folk songs, films, exhibits, and memorials. Titanic is the second largest ocean liner wreck in the world. This along with the fact that it was considered “The unsinkable ship” makes it one of the most important historical artifacts in existence.

It will see travel times between Dubai and Abu Dhabi slashed from 30 minutes to as little as 12 minutes. The 1,200kph speed of the “pods” which travel using magnetic levitation system made up of vacuum tubes and superconductors inside a tunnel named The Hyperloop tunnel. This system propel’s it to speeds in excess of Mach1.0, enabling them to arrive at their destination in minutes rather than hours.
Once operational, passengers will be able to book travel on the Hyperloop with a smartphone app.

3. Virgin Galactic Space Travel
Over 600 people have forked out $250,000 to reserve a seat on this Richard Branson startup. For that price, passengers who have signed up for the suborbital flight aboard the air-launched plane “VSS Unity”, will strap into their six tailored seats and be able to peer out of the cabin’s 12 circular windows as they ascend 100km (60~70 miles) above Earth.
Virgin Galactic chief space officer George Whitesides said, “Passengers could unbuckle themselves at peak altitude to float around the cabin in zero-gravity conditions”.
Richard Branson, the billionaire founder of the Virgin Group plans to shoot into space early next year in 2021, aboard his Virgin Galactic aircraft VSS Unity, potentially blazing a path for commercial flights. The company plans to reopen ticket sales after this historic trip by the founder.
