Space tourism is among those technologies that are talked about but never actually materialize. Dennis Tito was the first space traveler, and his trip cost him $20 million.

However, spaceflight companies are slowly making it more affordable. Boeing is currently working on capsules that will be used to transport astronauts to the International Space Station, and it’ll also be able to transport private citizens. The contract between Boeing and NASA is designed to increase the frequency of trips, but they are still expensive. The flights will cost tens of millions of dollars per.

SpaceX, meanwhile, is trying to make it a lot less expensive. Its Interplanetary Transport System will use reusable rockets and could see humans traveling from London to San Francisco in less than an hour. The system will eventually allow them to travel even farther in the hopes of creating an interplanetary settlement.

Of course the most effective way www.ostsee-frei.de/new-technology-for-space-tourism to experience space is to become an astronaut. It’s a major commitment. You have to undergo two years of training and your chances of being selected are very low. You can still take part in the virtual simulation. To get a real-life look at what it will be like to travel in space, make sure to visit one of the numerous virtual space exhibits available online.
