The Space Expedition Corp.(SXC) is fun piece of space travel history. The first of it’s kind, SXC offered commercial space travel flights to civilians while conducting their own R&D into horizontal takeoff and landing space craft. Once a groundbreaking company and a leading competitor to Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic and the now famous SpaceX. SXC was bought out by XCOR aviation in 2014, in an attempt to jump start their space vehicle technology. This large purchase quickly lead to the XCOR becoming bankrupt themselves in 2016. Leaving thousands with “pre-purchased” space travel tickets unfulfilled.
