US: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and British billionaire businessman Richard Branson, who are dreaming of calling themselves astronauts by taking a spacewalk, have suffered a severe setback. The US government has made it clear that both billionaires cannot be granted astronaut status according to the New Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
According to a BBC report, the new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules say astronaut hopefuls must be part of the flight crew and make contributions to space flight safety. These are the first changes since the FAA wings program began in 2004.
