Space tourism

Postby Netherrealmer » 18 Jul 2020, 07:42



PriestmanGoode's Neptune balloon is a future project to make Space tourism cheaper. At this moment Space tourist needs to have Astronaut training and must pay $50 million for the whole package of your stay. Well this project have the intention of making it cheaper and making training optional because no more need for space junk making rockets. The space tourist will be on the edge of space via a balloon. I don't know how durable it is but if I am a Zillionaire, I will give flat earthers a free trip to show them the earth is round.

Not bad but little to expensive for me.
I think you get travel in orbit and few hours of zero gravity and come back in orbit for 250 000$. I think that was offer by Virgin Galatic and somebody already traveled.

That is something that has little to no interest at all. I prefer being on Earth besides that not even in a million years I would have money for such trip.

Looks unique and interesting. Yet I have a big question that whether the Balloon would be sturdy enough, plus the people going on such trips might have to pay a very high amount of Premium for their Travel Insurance for such trips.

You don't have interest because of you don't have money or you in general don't have interest go in space?

Tourism trends are changing all the time and this is just one of those alongside more 'sober' ones such as Astro Tourism and cultural tourism. Personally, I'm not sure if I'd be interested enough to burn that sort of money on this 'excursion' :lol: I love travelling and would prefer to channel that money towards various holiday destinations around the world I've been eyeing forever - on terra firma :lol:

This excursion is currently almost uniqe. If you say, you visited Paris, Rome, New YOrk- many people did same. How many people can say they were in space even on few hours? Just few in world.

I have heard about such a project too. If I remember right the tourists were chosen from very rich group on payment via Bitcoin. That was 6-7 years ago (or even more) But later I read another project based in the US that accepted tourists through proper training.

Not choose, just who can afford it, had will and can pass physical training. Travel in space is not easy in current conditions and you don't want your client die on travel.

With that amount of money, I don't think so anyone could afford except for the billionaires and the rich and famous. Maybe they should just keep the money or donate to the charity instead. However, isn't it dangerous what if space tourism turns out to be a disaster?

In first, horses were very dangerous. When car was made, there was no traffic signs so accidents were often. Brother Wright almost died in first fly with airplane.
Conclusion: Every travel is dangerous, especially in start.

What is space tourism?
Let us know what space tourism is. People who love to travel, enjoy a new and exciting place every time. Even though this walk was confined to the earth till some time back, but you will be surprised and thrilled to know that the charter of this journey has gone from the ground to the sky.

That is, it is now possible to visit space and for this, scientists and space agencies of many countries are constantly trying to start space tourism. In such a situation, it seems that soon it will be possible that you too will be able to visit the space.So why not today, know what space tourism is and what process it goes through so that our enthusiasm can increase further and we can also think of including ourselves among those who are eager to be a part of this amazing journey. . So let's take a closer look at space tourism today.

The start of space tourism was in 2001 - the first tourist to go on a trip to space was American businessman Dennis Tito with a ticket of $ 20 million. He was sent to space by the US company Space Adventure Ltd. in collaboration with the Russian space agency.
Application for travel - In 2016, the US space agency NASA had asked applications from people interested in space travel to go to Mars. You must have felt the same knowing that applications have been sought for a normal journey.Our desire to have a closer look at the space is so big that 18,300 total applications came out of which only 8 to 14 passengers were decided to be selected. In 2018, he will be given full training for the possible trip which will include rigorous training of space aircraft systems, space walking and teamwork.
Breathtaking posters of space travel - To promote any trip, it is necessary to promote it. The same is being done by NASA. To promote space tourism, NASA has released attractive posters of 14 vintage voyages, whose slogans and photographs will leave everyone looking for a trip to space.

Until some time ago, we all used to look at the sky from the rooftops of our house and thought that 'what would happen in the sky there, I wish we could see it too'.
But it is said that if there is a true desire and a firm intention, then anything can be achieved.

The result of that is that now we travel from the ground to the sky, at the same time we can also look into the world inside the space which till now we have seen only in books and in our imaginations. Therefore, you should also keep your intentions high and make your wishes fly high.

Thank you very much for reading my post

Though expensive, it would give an amazing experience to the tourists. They will experience "overview effect" that gives them an instant global consciousness. They would see how fragile the "pale blue dot" is and might inspire them to do something about climate change to maintain the beauty of our habitable planet.
