Space tourism: who can afford it?

For several decades, mankind has managed to spoil the planet literally along and across. Brave travelers descended into the ravines, climbed the dangerous peaks of the mountains, swam across the seas and made their way through the wild jungle. At the same time, we were always bewitched by bright stars and thoughts about the existence of other worlds. Humanity wanted to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. As a result, flying ships were created, which first carried animals, and then humans, into orbit. Today, flying into space is the most common thing. Many countries of the world actively undertook the development of this space.

To see the Earth in all its glory from the porthole of the rocket is quite possible, if you are an astronaut or a millionaire. So how much is the flight into space? I must say that this pleasure is not cheap. For one such flight it is necessary to lay out about 30-40 million dollars. Although the financial side is not so important in this matter. After all, sometimes you go to study the space expanses the weak health, which you can not buy.

Space tourism is rapidly developing, which means that it makes no sense to pay huge amounts of money for flying, when in just a few years it will cost no more than 500 thousand dollars. The development of this sphere will inevitably entail the development of astronautics in general. This will happen in large part due to the attraction of huge funds aimed at detailed study and preparation of flights. Many large businessmen consider space tourism to be one of the most profitable lines of business in the future, and therefore are ready to invest their savings in it.

There is a serious competition in the aircraft manufacturing market. Russian engineers are also ready to join the battle for leadership in this market. A striking proof of this is the project they created, called the Aerospace Rally System. It consists in the construction of a rocketplot that would bring people into orbit.

Despite the fact that space tourism is at a sufficiently high level of development, there are certain problems with the implementation of some projects. Firstly, not every person can afford to purchase a ticket to space worth several million dollars. Secondly, the space ships that are available today are completely unsuitable for conducting tourist business. Aircraft can not boast of a large capacity and comfortable living conditions. Today, many companies are working to create special spacecraft that have all the necessary facilities and capacity.

Space tourism every year attracts more people with income above the average. To send as many people as possible to space and provide them with suitable conditions for a full rest, it is necessary to build space hotels. By itself, this idea is very attractive and tempting. But are businessmen and large investors ready to invest their money in this business? Unequivocally answer this question will not work. Only time will put everything in its place.
