What Will Space Tourism Be Like?

Since the beginning of spaceflight just 560 people have been into space, most of them being trained astronauts that spent years preparing for their flights. But when will the rest of us get a chance to visit space and what will we do when we get there? This video looks at the private astronauts that have paid to go into space and how reusable rockets could help to kickstart the space tourism industry.

Remember, it wasn't so long ago that the first paying passengers flew in an aircraft. To them, it was miraculous. The same will happen in space tourism.

[k-osmonaut]

I would pay an entire trip to some flat earthers to go to space, but if the earth is round, they can't return.

The only reason why I'm working my butt off in school is so I can afford the Virgin Galactic space flights

$50/GB internet is still cheaper than my mobile data

[strange]

MrBeast: spending 24 hours in space...

[GryphonRB]

Nobody:
Nobody ever:
"Hey family want to go spend 1.2m this Friday going into space for 3 minutes?"

+Primal Space, I have a video suggestion: *Why is the International Space Station so expensive to operate?*

$4B seems crayy

[dunhamchris]

I'm calling it now... We already have the "Vomit Rocket" so the The Blue Origin craft should be called the "Puke Pod"

[danielprieto]

Blue origins plans is, lol, just to create the world large tower drop coaster

[macleunin]

I hope it gets cheaper during my lifetime

[eugenemr]

This MIGHT put an end to the Flat Earth nonsense.

[LEDewey_MD]

Nice video, but not a word or one second of video of a Falcon Nine rocket landing? SpaceX has been the biggest player in bringing the cost of space travel down. Seems like this is a commercial for Blue Origin and Bigalow

[darringreen]

I really liked this video and this format. It flowed a lot better than the original format and the script never repeated itself. Good job Primal Space.

The price could drop to 200-
😁

-thousand dollars

[salcoscino]

I’m 15. Do you think it will be possible for me to go to space in my life time? Cause if so that would be dope and I would pay every penny I have!

[polomarcop]

Interesting video,
Also mention that SpaceX signed a contract with space adventurers in order to allow 4 crew to LEO and NASA also signed a contract to allow the construction of a new space station by Axiom Space, also could be used by tourists

[cottoncandy]

Tbh, I will get bored in space after a while because I would want to go outside

[pandad]

I feel like once we get a colony on a planet, we should have people with skills going to it. So we move a lot of people off of earth

[vim]

Omg thank you so much for making this video! I was going to draw a comic on space travel in the year 2040 and cuz of you I have an idea on where to start! :D

[TheExoplanetsChannel]

Great video. I'm ok with not going to space, but! I need 1) high-res images of Earth-like planets and 2) proof of extraterrestrial intelligence.
