In this video, we're going to explore the Past, Present, and Future of Space Tourism. Can We ACTUALLY be space tourists? Will space tourism continue to grow? And what kind of future is space tourism destined to have? This video is full of insights and information about space tourism, so be sure to check it out! We'll explore the history of space tourism, discuss the current state of the industry, and look into the future of space tourism. We'll also talk about some of the potential obstacles that stand in the way of space tourism's growth. So whether you're a space tourist or just interested in the topic, this video is for you! The topic of “Space Tourism” has always been an interesting one! More than two decades have passed since the first space traveler took flight, but the space tourism business is only getting started. Pan American World Airways—also known simply as Pan Am—was contacted by an Austrian journalist named Gerhard Pistor in 1964 after the latter's travel agency received a request to arrange a journey to the moon. The reservation was accepted by the airline, which has since gone out of business, and it was mentioned that the first trips to the moon will begin in the year 2000. Approximately 93,000 people joined Pan Am's First Moon Flights Club, which was essentially a waiting list for the first civilian journeys to the moon. This was the beginning of a space-tourism marketing ploy that would last for years.

That did not take place, as everyone knows. However, as the Space Age progressed, so did the concept of Space Tourism. Entrepreneur Dennis Tito of the United States reportedly spent $20 Million to become the first true space tourist in 2001, when he launched on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft and spent more than a week at the International Space Station.
We are now in a modern generation of space tourism, which is characterized by an increasing number of everyday people leaving Earth for limited periods of time through the efforts of private businesses that are focused on such projects. And in the future decades, it is possible that we may witness the beginning of frequent, extended vacations in space.

Before we proceed to the Present Space Scenario, Let’s get started with The Birth of Space Tourism. After the Apollo program, private businesses began looking at the possibility of sending ordinary people into space as opposed to government specialists. Manufacturing giant Rockwell International, which was a contractor for NASA's Space Shuttle program in the 1970s, conducted study into the potential of passenger modules that can fit into the payload bay of the Space Shuttle. Over the course of the succeeding decade, several businesses created designs that were quite similar to Rockwell International's. None of them came true.
However, NASA allowed nongovernment experts to participate in its spaceflights. These nongovernment personnel were primarily payload specialists and were entrusted with completing specific in-flight projects for businesses other than NASA. In addition, NASA created the Teacher in Space program and the Journalist in Space program in order to make space travel accessible to a small number of citizens on a yearly basis. However, after the Challenger accident in 1986, which claimed the lives of all seven people on board, including Christa McAuliffe, the inaugural participant in the Teacher in Space program, the programs were terminated. There was some thought given to restarting the program, but those plans were scrapped after another Space Shuttle mission ended in catastrophe, this time the tragic Columbia accident in 2003.

Now, Let’s come to the Present Scenario Of Space Tourism.
Suborbital Flights have been developed by private space tourism businesses during the past decade. For example, Blue Origin uses a traditional vertical launch, while Virgin Galactic uses a carrier aircraft to launch a rocket-powered space craft. Although only SpaceX and Boeing are authorized to send passengers into suborbital spaceflight, other businesses are gearing up for takeoff. Companies like Space Perspective and World View are developing space balloons to carry tourists into orbit around the Earth in a far more relaxing manner than rocket-powered ascents. Price per person for a trip into low Earth orbit varies widely among different businesses, but typically runs between $50,000 and $450,000.
