What's in common between the Safety Rocket and the Safety Elevator?
In 1852, Elisha Otis invented the world's first Safety Elevator, containing the Safety Brake invention. The Safety Elevator made elevators safe for the first time and tall skyscrapers possible. In 2014, Humanoido, as a tribute to Elisha Otis, invented the world's first Safety Rocket, making rocket space travel safe for the first time.

In 1853, American industrialist Elisha Graves Otis took to the stage at World’s Fair in New York to demonstrate his elevator safety brake. Otis had been working in a Yonkers, NY bedstead factory which required him to move heavy machinery between floors. Concerned with what would happen if the elevator’s support rope broke, Otis devised what he called a “safety hoist,” a steel wagon-spring meshing with a ratchet that ensured if the rope gave way, the spring would catch and keep the platform from plummeting and crushing everything below.

As recalled by the Otis Elevator Company, the inventor’s grand debut at the World’s Fair went something like this: Perched on a hoisting platform high above the crowd at New York’s Crystal Palace, a pragmatic mechanic shocked the crowd when he dramatically cut the only rope [with an axe] suspending the platform on which he was standing. The platform dropped a few inches, but then came to a stop. His revolutionary new safety brake had worked, stopping
the platform from crashing to the ground. “All safe, gentlemen!” the man proclaimed. - - Over a parallel course of 162 years, in 2014, after much research into the history of space programs that indicated two thousand related deaths, inventor scientist Humanoido decided to invent the world's first Safety Rocket. The Safety Rocket was designed to give humans the experience of space tourism and space travel in complete safety. Being inspired by Elisha Otis, and through science fiction movies, Humanoido developed methods where humans could experience the thrills of space flight, including Gforces, weightlessness, rocket vibration, visions and sounds of the trip inside the rocket. Over a period of 4 years, to 2018, continuous refinements were made to the rocket, space suit, helmet, computers, and recovery procedures, most of which were simplifications, monetary and weight saving devices. This makes space tourism more safe, efficient and affordable, bringing the cost down by millions if not billions of dollars.
